Data is coming home again: Not as a step back, but as progress with Azure Local
For years, we have talked about the journey to the cloud. It was the promise of unlimited scaling, new services, and fewer worries.
The cloud was fast, flexible, and provided access to new services without major upfront investments.
No one would miss the costs and risks of running their own server rooms, with all the headaches that came with it.
It all made perfect sense. Back then.
But the world has changed: External factors such as security and geopolitics have changed the global outlook on data. The new movement we must relate to points back toward the data center—but with new experience and tools in our backpack.
Hybrid Cloud
All the benefits of Azure—but with local control
For years, architectural choices were about optimization by placing workloads where they performed best. It was a technical exercise.
Repatriation is something else.
It is driven by new circumstances that did not exist 5–10 years ago:
- Growing requirements for data locality and jurisdiction
- Geopolitical uncertainty
- Rising cloud costs and pricing that is difficult to understand
- Need for predictability and physical proximity
- Requirements from customers and authorities for demonstrable control
Microsoft architecture on hardware from Dell Technologies
Azure Local runs on Dell hardware and is built on Microsoft’s Azure Stack HCI technology, giving you a fully integrated hybrid cloud solution that brings compute, storage, and networking together in a single cluster—where workloads can run locally with the same management and security models as in Azure. You manage administration in Azure Portal and Windows Admin Center, so you can control governance, updates, and compliance centrally.
Azure Local enables you to run virtual machines, containers, and edge workloads with low latency, while leveraging existing Azure services. Dell delivers preconfigured hardware with automated lifecycle management, making it easy to update firmware, drivers, and OS without complexity.

Compliance & security
There can be many reasons to keep data “in-house”. One may be GDPR compliance, where you cannot always be certain about legislation when data is in the public cloud. Business-critical data and applications are worth their weight in gold—not only to the company itself. Therefore, the platform provides better opportunities to keep sensitive production data in-house.
In addition, you get one unified, supported solution that is easy to maintain with the security updates that are continuously released.
Cost
Low latency
