Interoperability between public and private cloud resources has quickly become a top requirement for many organizations’ IT infrastructures. A recent study by IDC shows that 80 percent of large organizations have a hybrid cloud strategy and 51 percent already use both public and private cloud infrastructure resources.

Azure Stack is an extension of Azure, enabling new hybrid cloud applications. Using the combined experience and expertise from Atos, Dell EMC and Microsoft, this offering enables businesses to simply and quickly build a hybrid cloud deployment based on Microsoft Azure Stack.

It offers automated delivery of IT services for both cloud-native and traditional applications. Additionally, it unifies the experience across the Azure public cloud platform and on-premises with Azure Stack, so businesses can manage workloads and deploy new apps in the cloud more easily, regardless of which cloud they are deployed to.

Businesses will benefit from increased control, flexibility and agility as well as reduced costs, without compromising on compliance or security. As a result, organizations can better engage with their customers, reduce time to market for new services, and free resources to focus on adding business value.
