Leverage Azure Hybrid Cloud
Bolster enterprise transformation with hyperscalability and availability, top-notch security, universal visibility, and innovative intelligence
Cloud migration has become a necessity rather than a trend. However, for key sectors such as banking, finance, governance, energy, the situation is a bit more complicated. Local regulations, compliances, data residency laws have deterred organizations from adopting common public cloud platforms and cloud solutions. Also, many organizations prefer continuing with their on-prem IT architectures to ensure Business-as-usual and yet avail the revolutionary possibilities of cloud computing solutions such as Microsoft Azure. Hybrid cloud architectures extend the power of world-class public clouds by operating through on-prem servers, data centers maintaining internal security protocols could well solve the conundrum. This is no doubt the best of both worlds and increasingly a choice for most global enterprises.
72% of businesses have already integrated or are planning to integrate a hybrid cloud
128 billion dollars: Hybrid Cloud global spending by 2025
By 2025, there would be over 41 billion connected devices around the world generating around 80 zettabytes of data
For Azure cloud, one of the leading global cloud platforms and a jewel for regions like the Middle East, hybrid cloud architectures have become a stark necessity.

Microsoft Azure Arc
Hybrid cloud is designed, deployed, and configured in primarily two ways. The usual industry norm is in abstracting, fine-tuning, and integrating the on-premise IT architecture with a public cloud platform like Microsoft Azure. This entitles assets integration, virtualization, middleware and OS synchronization, and more. The second and easier method is to re-architect on-prem software platforms such that they seamlessly integrate with an adopted public cloud and any other cloud platform.
While Azure Stack resembles the former approach, Microsoft Azure Arc is a beast that helps achieve the latter. This offers a ground-breaking interface to simplify software and applications management across all IT and other adopted cloud platforms, achieve faster application development including innovative capabilities and deploy consistent Azure services anywhere.
With Azure Arc, enterprises can project their core IT assets such as data and applications, servers, containers, Kubernetes clusters on the Azure Resource Manager, enabling client admins to manage its entire IT environment (private on-prem or multiple clouds) as if it's managed on Microsoft Azure Cloud. Standardize universal visibility, operations, compliance, and streamline all environmental complexities with unprecedented ease.

Build Azure cloud-native applications and deploy, run with ease across any IT and cloud environment and certified Kubernetes clusters. Configure applications at Kubernetes clusters using source control and templates, reduce policy errors and complications. Centrally manage your entire DevOps environment including roles and responsibilities with Azure RBAC. Embrace familiar tools, development environments, and skills anywhere across the IT architecture.
Run Azure services including data management, database administration, application management on any adopted IT or cloud environment with ease. Deploy Azure Arc-enabled SQL Managed Instance and Azure Arc-enabled PostgreSQL Hyperscale on any Kubernetes cluster. Scale operations at ease basis requirements and deploy cutting-edge analytics, machine learning solutions to gain significant information insights. Avail maximum availability and agility, ensuring a seamless, consistent Azure experience across all IT assets and adopted multicloud and edge environments.
Bring AI to the Edge
Unleash Enterprise Intelligence with Microsoft Azure Percept
IDC predicts that by 2025, there would be over 41 billion connected devices around the world generating around 80 zettabytes of data. With the unprecedented scale at which technology is growing and data being generated is hard for enterprises to catch up at all levels. Hence, this decade has seen a widespread strategic shift towards the adoption of Big Data Analytics, AI, Edge computing, and IoT computing resources and Network Management.
Effective remote administration of edge networks, monitoring, and most importantly integrating intelligence at such granular, widespread organizational levels have the potential to transform digital evolution for these enterprises. This is especially for fundamental sectors such as healthcare, retail, finance, manufacturing, logistics, etc.
