Streamline Your Hybrid Cloud
with Azure Local

More and more organisations across the public and private sectors are embracing the possibilities offered by Cloud transformation, utilising a growing range of public and private Cloud platforms. However, when organisations depend on multiple platforms, hosted in disparate environments, both on and off-premises, there are numerous opportunities for inefficiencies, unnecessary costs, and security risks to emerge.

Azure Local - delivered as a managed service by Exponential-e - is the answer, allowing you to make your ideal Hybrid Cloud infrastructure a reality. This way, you are free to design, deploy, manage, and scale your ideal blend of public and private Cloud solutions as a single, fully integrated platform that supports your long-term business goals.

What is Hyper-Converged Infrastructure?

Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) consolidates computing, storage, networking, and management resources into
a flexible software-defined environment, hosted on a single, high-performance server. This allows for a higher level of flexibility, scalability, and cost control than is possible with most legacy solutions.

What is Azure Local?

Azure Local is a hyper-converged virtualisation solution that combines the industry-leading Azure Cloud with dedicated infrastructure, hosted on-premises, in a data centre, or at the edge, with the entire infrastructure managed through the Azure portal. Each Azure Local system consists of between 1-16 physical servers with common configurations and resources, managed via Windows Server Failover Clustering.

This way, the full benefits of both dedicated infrastructure and Azure Cloud are combined to optimise the performance and availability of VMs, selected PaaS functions, containerised workloads, and Azure Virtual Desktop.

When you have a strong tender, but no guarantee the team you're meeting is the team you'll be working with, there's always a concern whether things will work as planned on launch day. But this was never an issue with Exponential-e. All the way through, I had complete confidence in the team we'd be working with.
