DELL EMC INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR
MICROSOFT AZURE STACK HUB
Dell EMC Integrated System for Microsoft Azure Stack Hub powered by Dell Technologies hyper-converged
infrastructure standard scale units
Overview
Dell EMC Integrated System for Microsoft Azure Stack Hub is a fully engineered hybrid cloud platform that is built on
hyper-converged infrastructure powered by the latest Dell EMC PowerEdge servers. The platform leverages
software defined compute, storage, and networking capabilities and is managed via a customer-owned instance of
Azure Resource Manager, or the Azure control plane. This provides customers with a familiar Azure experience,
whether in the public cloud or on-premises.
This architecture consists of common modular building blocks that scale linearly from 4 to 16 nodes in a scale unit
(SU). Microsoft Azure Stack Hub provides a simple, cost-effective solution that delivers multiple performance and
capacity options to match any use case and covers a wide variety of cloud-native applications and workloads.
Based on Microsoft Azure Stack Hub software and incorporating 2
nd
and 3
rd
generation Intel Xeon scalable
processors, the Dell Technologies solution enables customers to start small and grow, scaling capacity and
performance easily with minimal disruption. Scaling in predictable units ensures a “pay-as-you-grow” approach for
future growth.
The following figure shows the solution architecture:
