Bridging On-Premises and Cloud: The Azure Stack HCI Transformation
In a world where technology evolves at lightning speed, our client faced a pivotal challenge. Their aging IT infrastructure, built on older Hyper-V versions, had reached the end of its lifecycle. Rather than the traditional path of upgrading or renewing hardware maintenance, they sought a transformative solution that could harness the power of Microsoft Azure while retaining an on premises footprint. Enter Azure Stack HCI, a game-changing recommendation that perfectly aligned with their needs. This innovative solution seamlessly integrated on-premises virtualization with the cloud, allowing them to monitor their resources with Azure Arc, back up on-premises assets using Azure Backup, leverage Windows Server 2022 Azure Edition, and even run Azure Services on their premises.
The impact was a modernized on-premises infrastructure that not only met their immediate needs but also unlocked a world of possibilities, including Monitor On-prem infrastructure with Azure Arc, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Azure Kubernetes services (AKS), Disaster Recovery for Virtualized workloads, Azure Backup, and much more.

Azure Stack HCI
01Challenges
The client was running their IT infrastructure on older Hyper-V versions and the lifecycle of their existing hardware had come to an end. Therefore, rather than upgrading the Hyper-V versions or renewing the AMC for the hardware, they wanted to transition their IT infrastructure while making use of the power of Microsoft Azure while also maintaining some footprint on on-prem.
02Solutions
Azure Stack HCI was recommended to the client as a plausible solution as it fulfilled the following requirements:
- Integration of on-prem virtualization with cloud
- Monitor the on prem resources with Azure Arc
- Backup the on prem resources on Microsoft Azure with Azure Backup
- Use Windows Server 2022 Azure Edition
- Run Azure Services on-premises
03Impact
As a result of Azure Stack Implementation, customers on-prem infrastructure was modernized and they were able to use all the Azure Services available for azure Stack HCI such as Monitor On-prem infrastructure with Azure Arc, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Azure Kubernetes services (AKS), Disaster Recovery for Virtualized workload, Azure Backup, etc.
