Extend the power of Azure and operate & unify infrastructure across your on-premises and distributed locations, enabled by Azure Local.
Common Challenges When Modernising Your IT Estate
Inconsistent Operations Across Locations - Local IT teams are operating differently at each site, leading to inefficiencies and fragmented management.
Need for Sovereign Control - Regulatory or strategic requirements demand data residency and control within national or regional boundaries.
Low Latency Requirements - Certain workloads require ultra-low latency, making centralised cloud solutions less viable.
Edge Processing for IoT Data - Remote sites are capturing IoT data that needs to be processed locally to reduce bandwidth usage and enable real-time insights.
Rising VMware Licensing Costs - Following Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, many organisations are facing significantly increased license renewal fees.
