    Microsoft Azure Stack HCI

    All-In-One Servers for Virtualized Computing, Networking, and Storage

    Deploy, Manage, and Scale with Ease

    A GIGABYTE server with a validated Microsoft Azure Stack HCI solution allows enterprises to add a consolidated all-in-one solution with simplicity and flexibility. Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) is an architecture that joins networking, storage, computing, virtualization, and back up into a centralized management solution. Virtual machines (VMs) can be used for edge workloads in branch offices or retail. At the same time, virtualization-based security protect sensitive workloads. In addition, through centralized management it is easy to scale up or down a hyper-converged data center. In GIGABYTE’s H262-Z61 server, Microsoft's Azure HCI solution has been integrated.

    Why Microsoft Azure Stack HCI

    • maintenance
      Hybrid Usage

      Able to run a virtual machine on premises then connect to cloud for recovery or management.

    • save_money
      Affordability

      Small footprint server starting at 2 nodes, and a system costing less than $10k/node.

    • administrator
      Ease of Management

      Windows Admin Center can manage the hybrid nature, while handling normal daily operations and issues.

    • expansion
      Support for the Best

      Support the latest NVMe drives, persistent memory, and remote-direct memory access (RDMA) networking.

    • performance
      Solid Performing Hardware

      Azure HCI is a cluster that runs on validated hardware for performance and resiliency.

    • resiliency
      Resiliency

      Allow users, apps, and VMs in a two-node HCI cluster to run through hardware failures without disruption, and without the added expense of a hardware RAID.
