Microsoft announces Azure Stack HCI 23H2

[mhardi01]

Congrats to Microsoft on the announcement of Azure Stack HCI 23H2!

This latest update to the product is all about enhanced edge fleet management, built-in Azure Arc, and enhanced security.

The latest release also has a more converged download package, pulling lifecycle management, Azure Arc and AKS container capabilities all together, making it easier to install or upgrade. Just load the one image and everything is automatically downloaded.

And despite the increased development, the price remains the same, just US$10/node/month. 

For existing Azure Stack HCI customers, update as soon as you can, anytime within the next 6 months, to get the benefits of the latest version of Azure Stack HCI.

Also note, they're also announcing the availablility of Azure Virtual Deskop -- we saw a lot of interest in this new offering as it was being demoed at Ignite a couple months ago.  Drop a line if you have a customer interested in this cool new altrnative to the two established legacy end user computing products out there.

For customers who want to experience what Azure-connected Hybrid cloud is all about for the first time, reach out to your rep, and ask about Azure Stack HCI on the Alletra Storage Server 4110.  Info on the solution is here.
