Kyndryl, Microsoft, and Dell team up on Azure Stack HCI migration offering

Kyndryl announced an integrated hybrid cloud solution to help customers migrate to Azure. Kyndryl Distributed Cloud for Microsoft Azure Stack hyperconverged infrastructure with Azure Arc relies on Dell Integrated System for Azure Stack HCI, based on Dell PowerEdge servers and Stack HCI software.

Customers will be able to deploy Kyndryl Distributed Cloud in datacenters, remote office and branch locations, or factory assembly lines. The offering is packaged as either a 1-3 node deployment or a scalable 2-100 node deployment, and is targeted toward industries like healthcare, energy, retail, and manufacturing.

Kyndryl intends to support low latency big data analytics. The company previously partnered with Microsoft in November, 2021 to support hybrid cloud migrations and announced a multi-year partnership with Viewpointe to supports its Azure migration.

"Mainframe, data center and edge computing customers want to take advantage of the cloud, and need trusted solutions to facilitate data center transformation. We are thrilled that this collaboration with Kyndryl and Dell Technologies is a best-in-class distributed cloud solution, powered by Azure Stack HCI and Azure Arc, that will help customers realize the benefits of cloud transformation,” stated Stephen Boyle, General Manager, Partner Development at Microsoft.
