The Dell Integrated System for Azure Stack HCI is an ideal solution for organizations that are modernizing their aging siloed computer vision environments to support a suite of modern high-value, highly performant applications on a consolidated platform. This all-in-one validated hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) system includes full-stack life cycle management, native integration into Microsoft Azure, flexible consumption models, and solution-level enterprise support and services.

Dell OpenManage Integration with Microsoft Windows Admin Center enables automatic cluster creation with the Dell HCI Configuration Profile and one-click full-stack life cycle management using Cluster-Aware Updating. This ensures that Azure Stack HCI is deployed in a guided and consistent way and helps maintain the latest quality, security, and performance enhancements. Microsoft and Dell Technologies provide extensions and snap-ins that reduce risk, eliminate guesswork, and liberate IT administrators to focus on performance tuning and other high-value activities.

Azure Stack HCI's native integration with Microsoft Azure allows IT administrators to leverage feature-rich management and governance services such as Azure Monitor, Azure Security Center, and Azure Policy. These services are consistent with and complementary to Microsoft Windows Admin Center, which serves as the edge or local, always-available management console. Microsoft continually adds new innovative functionality to Microsoft Azure services to ensure that even the most complex and demanding VM-based and containerized applications are properly monitored and performing at the levels that are required to meet SLAs.
