Has improved disaster recovery operations and streamlined infrastructure management but pricing and hardware support remain challenging
In assessing the impact of data center modernization efforts with Azure Stack HCI, Microsoft may currently focus on their cloud, and once they have their cloud in Saudi Arabia, this will be a significant change. Azure Stack HCI was viewed as a temporary solution for a private cloud with good features, though not comparable to what is available in Azure cloud. Work is still ongoing on the benefits of hybrid cloud with Azure. Azure Stack HCI has been rated a seven out of ten. License and cost are main reasons for this rating, as the issues faced in the beginning of implementation were significant hurdles for the operation team. The implementation was very difficult for the operation team at that time, as the necessary skills to implement and integrate this product were not available. One of the major issues was the support for the hardware after five years, including Cisco and HP, which created significant challenges for the operation team.
