Beyond.pl offers Azure Stack HCI solution

Microsoft hybrid cloud hosted in Polish data center. Beyond.pl offers Azure Stack HCI solution.

Beyond.pl is the first Microsoft partner in Poland to offer customers the latest service on the Azure platform. Azure Stack HCI hybrid cloud is available on dedicated infrastructure maintained locally, provides native access to Azure global services, and is compliant with national and European data processing regulations. The solution is hosted in Data Center 2 on Beyond.pl’s Poznan campus, a facility with the highest level of security as confirmed by ANSI/ TIA-942 Rated 4 Certification.

Azure Stack HCI is a Microsoft solution which combines the advantages of the private and public cloud, designed for companies that want access to Azure services on dedicated infrastructure guaranteeing full control over the IT environment. Beyond.pl maintains the solution in one of the most secure data center facilities in Europe, which concurrently ensures connectivity services of the highest quality. Data Center 2 is also the most energy efficient data center in Poland (PUE 1.2), which is entirely powered by green energy. So as to ensure  optimal Azure Stack HCI cloud services, Beyond.pl uses Dell’s state-of-the-art high performance infrastructure, which is certified by Microsoft for hybrid solutions.

– Many companies in regulated industries, such as the financial sector, have been unable to take advantage of the full potential of the Microsoft cloud due to the requirement to ensure that data is processed locally. Hosting Azure Stack HCI Cloud on dedicated infrastructure, in a data center with the highest ANSI/TIA-942 Rated 4 security standard, creates entirely new opportunities. Today, customers who require a high degree of control over their IT environment and data can place their critical business systems in the Azure cloud located in our data center and benefit from the wealth of global tools available on Azure. Our customers can obtain access to the secure Azure Stack HCI cloud supported with the lowest latency and 24/7 first line support – summarizes Piotr Podlawski, Cloud Business Director at Beyond.pl.

Azure Stack HCI cloud at Beyond.pl is billed on a fixed monthly fee in an “as a service” model. This implies that customers may release budgets that were until now allocated to their own infrastructure. Azure services running in the Azure Stack HCI environment are billed in the standard “perconsumption” model within the Microsoft Azure subscription provided by Beyond.pl.

Access to global capabilities with Beyond.pl

What distinguishes the Azure Stack HCI solution from others on the market is native access to the full range of Azure services and tools such as: virtual machines, databases, monitoring and automation systems, containers, VDI or Disaster Recovery Center via the Azure Arc tool. On top of this, according to the roadmap adopted by Microsoft, the list of PaaS services made available to customers within the Azure platform will continuously expand.

As a Microsoft partner, Beyond.pl, has been active in deploying Azure projects for Polish and international customers since 2018. The expansion of the Azure cloud offering is another step strengthening Beyond.pl’s services in the cloud segment (public, private, and hybrid) and is a further development of the its comprehensive portfolio of services. Apart from being responsible for the delivery of Azure Stack HCI services, the Azure cloud team at Beyond.pl will also support customers in integrating the solution with  their existing on-premise and off-premise IT environments as well as other cloud solutions they may have deployed.
