If you’re not already familiar with Azure Stack HCI, in concise terms, it’s a hybrid cloud solution that combines the power of the Azure control plane with hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), enabling organizations to advance their digital modernization goals with cost-effective technology. HCI infrastructure offers various benefits over traditional deployments, including robust scalability, reliability, improved performance, simplified deployment and management, software-defined infrastructure, and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).
Why Azure Arc-enabled?
Azure Arc is a set of technologies that help customers manage and govern increasingly complex environments that span across public & private clouds. Azure Arc brings consistent experience of using Azure services across the cloud of your choice.
It also streamlines and enhances various aspects of IT infrastructure management. It simplifies tasks like provisioning, policy enforcement, and app deployment, including SQL server instances and Kubernetes, across distributed environments on-premises, at the edge, or in multi-cloud setups.
Arc also extends Azure and Azure Stack HCI-based security to hybrid and multi-cloud environments and integrates 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor built-in security and extensions and Microsoft Secured Core, providing complete protection from silicon to cloud.
