Azure Arc

Enabling Data Services Anywhere

Enterprises increasingly require hybrid and multicloud solutions for data workloads. The complexity of managing these solutions as they are modernized—to adapt to changing industry needs, security requirements, and latency constraints—are pushing workloads to the edge and on-premises.

To help you meet your needs and solve complicated hybrid scenarios, Pure and Microsoft offer a complete solution for Azure Arc-enabled data services.

You can run Azure data services on-premises, at the edge, or in any cloud environment using Kubernetes. Get the latest Innovations with Azure SQL Managed Instance and Azure PostgreSQL Hyperscale with full functionality even when disconnected.

Always Current

Get the newest Azure innovations as though you were running in Azure for Azure Arc-enabled SQL Managed Instance and Azure Arc-enabled PostgreSQL Hyperscale. Automatically receive the most current updates, patches, and upgrades without application downtime while still controlling the rollout, based on your policy.

Ready for Anything

Keeping data protected is critical to ensuring that Azure Arc-enabled applications are ready for any situation. Portworx PX-Backup was built exclusively for containerized applications and delivers point-and-click, app-consistent backup and recovery for the entire application – data, application configuration, and Kubernetes objects. Easily back up and recover in place or to another cloud location with a single click.

Connected or Disconnected

Many Arc-enabled data services run in both connected and disconnected mode to allow the flexibility of operating on the edge or in scenarios where a connection is not available. Connecting directly to Azure opens up opportunities for integration with other Azure services and the ability to use the Azure portal and Resource Manager APIs from anywhere in the world.

Unified Management

Simplify into a single view of your data across on-premises, edge, and cloud environments. Maintain a consistent management experience. Manage the data layer with views of underlying infrastructure health and capacity for performance. All you need are the familiar toolsets that you’re used to using in Azure and Portworx.

Support for Disconnected Scenarios

Access the same Azure benefits with or without a direct and continuous cloud connection. The local Azure Arc data controller provides a full set of management features in your self-hosted environment, including:
