As you probably know, Microsoft Azure Stack – MAS, has been officially available for a few weeks in July at Microsoft Inspire partner conference in Washington DC.

Right now, Microsoft announces that you can order an Azure Stack integrated system with Dell EMC, HPE, and Lenovo. Note that other partners, including Huawei and Cisco, will launch their systems at some point in the near future. You can plan your purchase with software pricing information, and try the free single-server (Azure Stack Development Kit) deployment of Azure Stack.

Listed below, some resources to learn more on Microsoft Azure Stack:

  • Azure Stack Whitepaper and Datasheet.
  • A lot of news and tips on Microsoft Azure Blog and in addition this white paper.
