DataON solutions for Azure Stack HCI blend Windows Server
technologies with Azure management services for hybrid innovation

ANAHEIM, Calif. – March 26, 2019 – DataON, an industry-leading provider of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) and storage systems optimized for Microsoft environments, today announces validated solutions for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI.

Azure Stack HCI is an evolution of data center computing that blends Windows Server technologies with new Azure management service integration. It helps customers with large and complex IT estates and varying needs, helping them solve IT problems while being able to grow and evolve as business and IT needs change.

  • Replace aging server and storage infrastructure, consolidate virtualized workloads, and gain cloud efficiencies on-premises with hyper-converged solutions that bring together software-defined compute, storage, and networking on industry-standard x86 servers and components, similar to technologies that Microsoft uses to run its Azure data centers.
  • Extend to Azure quickly and easily with simplified access to cloud management and security services, including offsite backup, site recovery, and cloud-based monitoring.

Azure Stack HCI gets you get up and running quickly and reliably. It features the same Hyper-V based software-defined compute, storage, and networking as Azure Stack and shares similar testing and validation criteria. It follows engineering best practices to get customers up and running without lengthy design and build times.

Built-in integration to Azure makes it easy for IT staff to start using Azure for infrastructure management services and start building cloud skills. With the Azure management services in Windows Admin Center and DataON MUST, customers can easily integrate on-premises workloads with services such as Azure Site Recovery, Azure Backup, Cloud Witness, and Azure Monitor.

 

“DataON was one of the first Microsoft partners to offer Windows Server Software-Defined (WSSD) solutions,” said Howard Lo, vice president of sales and marketing, DataON. “Many customers are now beginning their hybrid journey and looking to extend their on-premises workloads to the cloud. DataON hybrid cloud solutions for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI not only provide a validated hyper-converged solution for workloads that must remain on-premises but also makes it easy for IT staff to start using Azure for infrastructure management services.”

Erin Chapple, corporate vice president, Windows Server at Microsoft Corp. said, “As customers’ IT and business needs change, it’s important that Microsoft and its partners provide solutions that are robust and flexible. Microsoft is proud to have partners such as DataON who have developed solutions for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI that meet the needs of customers who are shifting to hyper-converged infrastructure and hybrid scenarios for better data center efficiencies.”
