Azure Local

Run Azure services where your data lives.

Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI) brings Microsoft's cloud services into your facility — for sovereignty, latency, and edge workloads. Ultiblob designs, deploys, and operates it for you.

What is Azure Local

Hyperconverged infrastructure for hybrid Azure.

Azure Local is Microsoft's modern HCI platform — a validated cluster that runs Windows Server, VMs, AKS, and Azure Arc-enabled services on-premises while remaining managed from the Azure portal.

Azure-consistent

Same APIs, governance, and identity as Azure public cloud — fully Arc-enabled.

AKS on Azure Local

Run Kubernetes workloads on validated hardware, in your facility, with Azure-managed control plane.

Sovereign by design

Customer data never leaves the facility. Ideal for healthcare, finance, and government.

Engagement model

Assess. Deploy. Operate.

A three-phase engagement that takes you from current-state assessment to a fully operated Azure Local cluster.

Phase 1

Assess

Workload, network, and identity discovery. Capacity sizing, hardware selection, and Azure Local readiness review.

Phase 2

Design & deploy

Cluster architecture, networking, storage spaces direct, and Azure Arc integration. Validated against Microsoft reference designs.

Phase 3

Operate

24/7 monitoring, patching, capacity planning, and lifecycle management. Backed by Ultiblob's AI-operated NOC.

What we deliver

A production-ready cluster, not a science project.

Validated hardware

Reference designs from Dell, HPE, and Lenovo. Sized, configured, and racked by Ultiblob.

Software-defined networking

RDMA, ATC, and SDN configured to Microsoft's reference architecture.

Storage Spaces Direct

All-NVMe or hybrid S2D pools, tuned for VM, database, or container workloads.

AKS Hybrid

Production Kubernetes on Azure Local, ready for stateful and AI workloads.

Identity & governance

Azure Arc, Microsoft Entra integration, and policy-driven compliance.

Runbook & handover

Operational runbook, DR plan, and 24/7 managed-service handoff included.

Azure Local

Bring Azure into your facility — without the heavy lifting.
