About Azure Stack Edge

Run your workloads and get quick actionable insights right at the edge where data is created using purpose-built hardware-as-a-service with Azure Stack Edge. Simply order your appliance from the Azure portal in a hardware-as-a-service model, paid monthly via your Azure subscription. Get a seamless cloud-to-edge experience where you configure, monitor and update your Azure Stack Edge with the same management portal and development tools that you’ve come to expect from Azure. Run your containerized applications and VMs right at the edge where data is created and collected. Analyze, transform, and filter data at the edge, sending only the data you need to the cloud for further processing or storage. Build and train machine learning models in Azure or use Azure Cognitive service, and then utilize the built-in NVIDIA T4 GPU or Intel VPU in the Mini R to accelerate the results locally.

Azure Stack Hub

Part of the Azure Stack portfolio, Azure Stack Hub broadens Azure to let you run apps in an on-premises environment and deliver Azure services in your datacenter. As organizations race to digitally transform, many are finding they can move faster by using public cloud services to build on modern architectures and refresh legacy apps. Many workloads, however, must remain on-premises—for example, due to technological and regulatory obstacles. Microsoft has you covered with broad hybrid cloud options and cloud innovation for all your workloads, wherever they reside. Address latency and connectivity requirements by processing data locally in Azure Stack Hub and then aggregating it in Azure for further analytics, with common app logic across both. You can even deploy Azure Stack Hub disconnected from the internet and from Azure.
