Sovereign cloud, Azure-consistent.
In your facility.
Same Azure APIs, same governance, same identity plane — running on Microsoft-validated hardware that you own. AKS, Arc, Defender, Sentinel included. End-to-end deploy in 90 days.
Six phases from procurement to production sign-off.
Each phase has a fixed deliverable signed off before the next begins. Hover or tap a phase.
Senior architect on-site for site readiness review (power, cooling, rack space, WAN). Order validated Azure Local SKU hardware to lock pricing and ship dates.
Standard 90-day plan. Compressible to 60 days when hardware ships from stock; extendable for multi-site rollouts.
What makes this Azure-consistent, not Azure-like.
Same control plane, same tools, same support model. Just running on hardware you can touch.
Azure-consistent APIs
Same ARM, same Bicep, same Az CLI, same Azure Portal. Your existing Azure tooling Just Works against the on-prem cluster.
AKS on Azure Local
Production Kubernetes on validated hardware, with Azure-managed control plane. Same AKS Fleet Manager you already use.
Sovereign by design
Customer data never leaves the facility. Ideal for healthcare PHI, finance PAN, public-sector classified workloads.
Entra + Conditional Access
One identity plane across your Azure tenant and the on-prem cluster. Conditional Access, MFA, device posture — uniformly.
Defender + Sentinel
Same SOC tooling against on-prem workloads. Threats correlate across your hybrid estate, not in a separate silo.
Arc-enabled everything
Servers, K8s, data services, Functions — all Arc-enrolled, all policy-governed from a single Azure subscription.
What changes when on-prem cloud becomes a product.
| DIY on-prem cloud | Ultiblob-deployed Azure Local |
|---|---|
| Build your own on-prem cloud from raw VMware + scripts | Microsoft-validated Azure Local stack — supported and patched as one product. |
| Identity, governance, monitoring as separate vendors | Entra + Defender + Sentinel + Arc in one tenant, on-prem and cloud unified. |
| DR plan that takes 6 months to write | Azure Site Recovery + cluster-aware backup, runbook signed off as part of the deploy. |
| Procurement → install → bring-up takes ~6 months | Day 0 to production sign-off in 90 days. Compressible to 60 when hardware ships from stock. |
Where Azure Local earns its keep.
Healthcare
PHI never leaves the facility. HIPAA scope contained to a single cluster. Defender for Cloud rolls up to your Sentinel workspace.
Finance
PCI-DSS scope reduced to the on-prem cluster. Auditor reads Sentinel for evidence. State-residency by design.
Public sector
Sovereign workloads, classified data, controlled-unclassified-information environments. We support FIPS-validated builds.
Azure Local, asked + answered.
- Azure Local is the renamed and unified product line that absorbs Azure Stack HCI. Same engineering, same Azure portal experience, evolving naming. We deploy on the current Microsoft-validated SKUs.
