Cloud anywhere:
Azure for hybrid and multicloud environments

Data privacy and compliance
New regulations in data privacy are very
common as many nations are in the
process of updating their laws. This adds
real business risk to companies operating
globally as it can lead to a shutdown
of services for a certain region and/or
require investments to create a separate
application to run on a separate system
in a different location.
Solution
Azure Stack Hub is a fully optimized
and purpose-built integrated system
that runs Azure services no matter if
you are connected to the internet or
disconnected in a fully air-gapped way.
The technology allows companies to reuse
code and run cloud-native applications
consistently across their Azure and on-
premises environments, while continuing to
leverage IaaS and run virtualized workloads
with optional cloud connectivity.
With Azure Stack Hub, companies
can deploy applications to isolated or
disconnected environments, whether
a financial firm that needs to satisfy
regulations or a transportation firm that
has to adapt to unreliable connectivity.
Data can be kept in the cloud or on-
premises to satisfy data-residency
requirements, and applications can be run
from the cloud or on-premises to satisfy
needs for disconnected workloads.
