Microsoft Azure Stack
Azure Stack is a hybrid-cloud platform, bringing core public Azure services to your datacenter. These services are mostly dedicated to Azure PaaS and IaaS and help you out with building unified ecosystems between private and public clouds. Azure Stack is delivered as an integrated system, with software installed on the hardware built by partners like HPE and Cisco. Azure's familiar pay-as-you-go model is mainly being used in Azure Stack and you can stretch the same subscriptions out for both Azure and Azure Stack clouds. If you have unstable or restricted connection to Azure, you may choose to use Azure Stack in disconnected mode with a capacity model pricing package - a fixed fee annual subscription based on the number of physical cores. It's important to note that you can manage WAP VMs from Azure Stack using a special connector, though it's under review and not recommended for production use: https://aka.ms/wapconnectorazurestackdlc.
