Application modernisation is at the heart of digital transformation, with the opportunity to help companies engage customers, empower employees, optimise operations and transform products.

While Azure provides a rich platform for developers to build modern applications, some applications can face obstacles that impact their operation in the cloud such as; latency, intermittent connectivity, and regulatory impacts being primary examples. This is where Azure Stack comes in.

Azure Stack provides a way to run native Azure applications in your data centre. With a consistent cloud platform, organisations can confidently make technology decisions based on business requirements, rather than business decisions based on technology complications.

It doesn’t just look like Azure (like Windows Azure Pack), it is Azure. Your developers and administrators can use the same Azure Resource Manager templates and can use the same APIs to interact with Azure Stack as they do with Azure.
