For many data-driven businesses, the ability to successfully face the challenges of rapid growth, shifting markets, and evolving technological landscapes often relies on two key components: the secure reliability of familiar data center infrastructure and the flexibility to adapt to changing demands. Historically, it’s been difficult to efficiently integrate those two components. Now, an increasing number of organizations are finding that hybrid and distributed cloud solutions—often enabled by extensive multi-vendor collaboration—can provide the security, scalability, and performance they need to succeed. 

Dell AX System for Azure Local with PowerFlex is one such solution, a purpose-built hyperconverged infrastructure from Dell and Microsoft for deploying on-premises Azure instances. The solution’s Azure Local component provides Azure-native tools and services for managing distributed on-premises infrastructure, while the Dell AX System component provides deep integration, continuous hardware and software validation, and enterprise-grade end-to-end support for deployment, management, and maintenance. 

By adding Dell PowerFlex external block storage, businesses can merge the massive scalability, performance, and availability of PowerFlex storage with the operational benefits of Azure-native cloud resource management tools. Together, Dell AX System for Azure Local and PowerFlex can help enterprises streamline operations, right-size and consolidate workloads, and future-proof their hybrid cloud environments while maintaining centralized control across deployments.
