Business challenge

  • Various organizations are choosing hybrid cloud strategies and implementing hybrid cloud solutions to meet their business needs. Hybrid cloud solutions can provide enhanced data placement due to their agility, elasticity, and cost management with complex operational overheads. To reduce these overheads, Microsoft has introduced a true hybrid cloud solution with Microsoft Azure Arc to streamline the management of hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Azure Arc simplifies governance and management by enabling Azure services to run across the edge, on-premises, and in hybrid clouds. You can think of Azure Arc as a connective tissue between the Azure Resource Manager in Azure and your own workload in any data center or cloud.

    The theme of this paper is to convey a true DBaaS environment, or in this case, a database instance as a service. Delivering the core tenants of ease of use, time to DevOps, and multi-level resiliency.

    PowerFlex is ideal for high-performance applications and databases that require elasticity and scale, building agile private and hybrid clouds, or consolidating resources in heterogeneous environments. PowerFlex gives you flexible deployment options such as PowerFlex rack and PowerFlex appliance that enable two-layer, single-layer (HCI), and storage-only architectures.
