DataON K2N/K3N-212 switchless validated nodes for Azure Stack HCI are designed for smaller, remote deployments such as small-to-medium sized businesses, remote office/branch offices and edge computing. Optimized for performance & expansion with all-flash NVMe storage and powered by 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, they combine Intel® technologies and Azure Stack HCI to they enable organizations to modernize their infrastructure, start or extend their hybrid cloud journey, and consolidate virtualized workloads.
DataON K2N/K3N-212 Switchless Validated Node for Azure Stack HCI
Available in 2- and 3-node versions, DataON Kepler validated nodes feature switchless back-to-back networking for peak simplicity and affordability, plus innovative technologies that set Azure Stack HCI apart at the small scale. Nested resiliency protects you from multiple concurrent failures. Cloud quorum technologies can leverage Azure instead of an appliance virtual machine for a quorum. Kepler 3-node (K3N) solutions provide an additional layer of resiliency over Kepler 2-node (K2N) solutions, essential in environments or multiple ROBO and edge deployments that require 3-way mirror fault tolerance.

Hybrid Cloud Use Cases for Azure Stack HCI
Run workloads from your branch office to the edge
Meet the evolving IT demands of branch offices, retail stores, and field locations at an affordable cost.
Support large-scale virtual desktop implementations
Use remote desktop services, highly available virtual machines (VMs), and integrated scalable storage to support your large-scale virtual implementations.
Optimize the performance of virtualizing SQL Server
Deploy and manage demanding SQL Server workloads running on hyper-converged infrastructure to get best of class performance.
Improve security with trusted enterprise virtualization
Use virtualization-based security and certified hardware to help secure your sensitive workloads. Help protect against threats with secure firmware, hardware, and host OS with Secured-core server built in.
Deploy a tightly integrated Kubernetes–enabled platform
Enable automated deployment and management of containerized apps by running Kubernetes clusters on your hyperconverged infrastructure.
Run workloads on a highly secure infrastructure
Secured-core servers provide added security for critical applications and data used on the hosts and VMs that run on them.
