Hybrid data architecture

When you need hybrid on-premises and cloud options, nothing comes close to Azure. Use Azure Stack to deliver Azure services from your own datacenter, using the same tools in both environments for unmatched consistency, allowing you to deploy your data solution to the location that best meets your needs. Use ExpressRoute for a private, dedicated and high speed connection that extends your on-premises network into Azure. See this example hybrid reference architecture.

Highlighted services

• Azure Sack
• ExpressRoute
