Help your customers retire cloud credit
Many customers have a spend commitment with Microsoft. Azure Stack HCI helps retire customer spend. Since APEX Cloud Platform for Azure runs the Azure Stack HCI operating system, it helps to retire cloud credit with Azure. There are also other services that can be included to help customers retire their cloud spend, including Azure Stack HCI, Azure Kubernetes Service, Arc- enabled app services, and Arc-enabled data services.
The Azure Stack HCI OEM license is a one-time, upfront purchase that consolidates your host OS, guest OS, and containers into a single, streamlined solution. This approach ensures unified full-stack support with top-tier hardware and software, eliminating the need for recurring renewals. Consequently, it protects you from unexpected and rising Azure service costs, making it an ideal choice for a capital expenditure (CapEx) driven infrastructure strategy.
