Azure Stack Hub
Build and run hybrid applications across datacenters, edge locations, remote offices, and the cloud.
Overview
Azure Stack Hub is an on-premises platform that lets you deliver Azure services from your own datacenter. It allows you to build, deploy, and operate hybrid cloud applications consistently across Azure and your on-premises environment. It is delivered as an integrated system of hardware and software, purchased from Microsoft's hardware partners.

- Integrated hardware and software systems
- Access to Azure Marketplace solutions
🎯 Key Differentiators

Unique Value: Extend Azure on-premises to build and run hybrid applications with a consistent set of services, tools, and processes.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Running a private instance of Azure for a government agency
- Deploying applications in remote locations with intermittent connectivity
- Processing sensitive data on-premises before moving results to the public cloud
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Small-scale deployments that don't justify an integrated system
- Organizations without the IT staff to manage on-premises infrastructure
- Workloads that don't require Azure consistency
