Scale-out Storage

Microsoft Azure Stack HCI solutions provide industry-leading storage performance using leading-edge technologies in ASUS validated servers and give you blazing fast performance that can scale from just two nodes all the way up to 16. Features like mirror-accelerated parity, data duplication and Windows Failover Clustering ensure you get the most from your hardware investment.

Microsoft SQL Server

Azure Stack HCI provides enterprise customers a highly available, cost efficient, flexible and high-performance platform to run Microsoft SQL Server, leveraging the power of state-of-the-art hardware and Storage Spaces Direct. Azure Stack HCI presents a highly competitive, exceptionally performant Microsoft SQL Server solution. Whether running online transaction processing (OLTP), data warehousing, business intelligence, AI or advanced analytics on big data workloads, you will benefit from the resiliency that Azure Stack HCI offers.

Quick Start for Kubernetes

An optimized Azure Stack HCI (supporting two to 16 physical servers) architecture hosting traditional applications in virtual machines and a Kubernetes cluster on Linux and Windows Server VMs supports Linux and Windows Containers. The figure on the right depicts a Rancher installation that manages two Kubernetes clusters: one created by Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE) on Azure Stack HCI and another created by Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

Azure Stack HCI offers the optimal platform for VDI. Using an ASUS-validated HCI solution and Microsoft’s mature Remote Desktop Services, customers can achieve a highly available, highly scalable architecture. In addition, Azure Stack HCI VDI solutions provide unique cloud-based capabilities for protecting VDI workloads and clients: centrally managed updates using Azure Update Management, unified security management and advanced threat protection for VDI clients.
