Azure Local offers deep integration with Azure, extending cloud capabilities to your on-premises environment.

How cloud integration works

  • Azure Arc connects local servers to Azure, enabling cloud-based monitoring, security, and automation.
  • Workloads can be backed up to Azure, monitored with Azure Monitor, and restored with Azure Site Recovery.
  • You can manage and update multiple locations from a single Azure dashboard.

Benefits of cloud integration

  • Centralized control over distributed environments.
  • Faster recovery and simplified compliance.
  • Scalable operations for growing infrastructure.
  • Hybrid cloud flexibility, allowing workloads to run where they perform best.

Application Support

Azure Local supports both traditional and modern workloads:

  • Virtual Machines: Host core business applications, file servers, domain controllers, and more.
  • Containers: Run microservices or lightweight applications using Kubernetes (Azure Kubernetes Service).
  • Custom Workloads: Build and deploy industry-specific solutions like manufacturing control systems, hospital management software, or financial apps.

Applications can interface with existing hardware and systems while benefiting from cloud-based management and protection.
