The 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.
Benefits in a nutshell
What the partnership delivers
On-prem extension of Azure.
Scale-out storage that Azure Stack Hub and Stack Edge customers add for petabyte deployments at the edge.
Hybrid cloud workflows.
Archive, disaster recovery and service bursting between on-prem Scality and Azure.
Azure Blob native format.
Data tiered to Azure stays accessible to Azure Machine Learning, Power BI, Video Indexer and other Azure services.
S3 to Azure Blob translation.
Amazon S3 applications consume Azure Blob without code changes.
The 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.
Hybrid cloud workflows
Archive, disaster recovery and service bursting between on-prem and Azure with native S3 semantics.
File interface for Blob
POSIX-compatible SMB and NFS interface to Azure Blob Storage, hosted in your Azure subscription.
S3 → Blob translation
Amazon S3 applications read and write Azure Blob Storage directly. No application changes.
Capability & 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.

customer 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.
Why Azure + Scality
What customers get from the combination.
Azure-native data.
Data stored through Scality lands in native Azure Blob format. Every Azure service downstream consumes it without translation.
S3 applications, unchanged.
Existing Amazon S3 applications consume Azure Blob with no code changes. Hybrid and multicloud workflows stay portable.
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.
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.
