Microsoft Azure and Scality

Powering hybrid cloud. Scality complements Azure cloud services with on-prem scale-out storage at the edge, hybrid data workflows across cloud boundaries, and direct interoperability between Amazon S3 applications and Azure Blob Storage.

icon-double-hexThe partnership

Scality complements Azure cloud services.

Azure Stack Hub and Azure Stack Edge bring Azure capabilities on- premises. Scality augments them with petabyte-scale, scale-out object storage that handles workloads Azure-native storage was not sized for — particularly disconnected or air-gapped deployments at the edge.

Across the data lifecycle, Scality enables a new generation of hybrid cloud workflows: long-term archive to Azure Blob, disaster recovery copies in the cloud, service bursting for AI and analytics, and direct interoperability between Amazon S3 applications and Azure Blob Storage.

icon-double-hexBenefits in a nutshell

What the partnership delivers

scality-partner-azure-onperm-icon
icon-check-shield-simple-dark

On-prem extension of Azure.

Scale-out storage that Azure Stack Hub and Stack Edge customers add for petabyte deployments at the edge.

scality-partner-azure-hybrid-icon
icon-piggy-bank-dark

Hybrid cloud workflows.

Archive, disaster recovery and service bursting between on-prem Scality and Azure.

scality-partner-azure-blob-icon
icon-bolt-thick-dark

Azure Blob native format.

Data tiered to Azure stays accessible to Azure Machine Learning, Power BI, Video Indexer and other Azure services.

scality-partner-azure-s3-icon
icon-4-squares-dark

S3 to Azure Blob translation.

Amazon S3 applications consume Azure Blob without code changes.

icon-double-hexThe partnership

Four capabilities that bridge on-prem and Azure.

Scality is not an Azure replacement. It is the data layer that lets enterprises run hybrid workloads across cloud boundaries — on-prem where they need scale and control, in Azure where they need cloud services.

Scale-out storage

Extend Azure Stack Hub and Stack Edge with petabyte-scale on-prem object storage at the edge.

azure icon
Hybrid cloud workflows

Archive, disaster recovery and service bursting between on-prem and Azure with native S3 semantics.

azure icon
File interface for Blob

POSIX-compatible SMB and NFS interface to Azure Blob Storage, hosted in your Azure subscription.

azure icon
S3 → Blob translation

Amazon S3 applications read and write Azure Blob Storage directly. No application changes.

icon-double-hex-lightCapability & On-prem extension

Scale-out storage to extend Azure edge solutions.

Azure Stack Hub and Azure Stack Edge let enterprises run Azure- consistent applications on-premises. When those applications need petabyte-scale storage — especially in disconnected or air- gapped deployments — Scality augments Azure's edge solutions with on-prem scale-out object storage and data orchestration.

  • Petabyte-scale storage at the edge alongside Azure Stack Hub and Stack Edge.
  • Azure-consistent applications keep running locally when the cloud link is unavailable.
  • Built for disconnected and air-gapped deployments.
  • Data orchestration between edge sites and Azure as the link allows.

Azure Blob Interop

icon-double-hexcustomer story

Hybrid cloud storage at telecom scale.

Orange reduced the cost of cloud storage by running Scality alongside hyperscaler services. The architecture moves data between tiers and clouds without forcing applications to know which back end holds the data.

icon-double-hexWhy Azure + Scality

What customers get from the combination.

scality-partner-azure-native-icon

Azure-native data.

Data stored through Scality lands in native Azure Blob format. Every Azure service downstream consumes it without translation.

scality-partner-azure-plug-icon

S3 applications, unchanged.

Existing Amazon S3 applications consume Azure Blob with no code changes. Hybrid and multicloud workflows stay portable.

scality-partner-azure-datalayer-icon

One data layer, two ends.

On-prem RING and Azure Blob in a single workflow. Archive, DR and bursting work without managing two storage estates.

scality-partner-azure-control-icon

Data stays in your control.

Scality runs as a stateless layer in your Azure subscription. Data never leaves customer control on the way to Blob.
