Azure Arc service and technology partners

This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: New blog articles in Microsoft Tech Community.

The Azure Arc partner ecosystem offers customers validated, enterprise grade solutions to run Azure on-premises and at the edge. Launched at Microsoft Ignite 2021 with support from industry-leading OEMs, hardware providers, platform providers, and ISVs, we are happy to announce the expansion of the Azure Arc network of trusted partners and validated platforms to data services.

 

Azure Arc validation program

The Azure Arc validation program ensures customers can adopt from a wide range of partner solutions to fit their needs with the confidence that they have been designed, engineered, configured, and tested to run Azure data services and Kubernetes distributions.

 

With these validated solutions, customers receive the benefits of enterprise performance and scale to deploy and operate their data services across their entire estate, as well as the assurance of enterprise grade support.

 

Technology partners & platforms

Our partnership with industry leading OEMs and storage providers delivers HCI and hardware-as-a-service (HaaS) solutions that combine hardware and software platforms that are optimized to run hybrid data workloads.
