Azure Stack is an extension of the Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform — providing a clear road map to the best hybrid cloud experience for businesses in the country. This will be one of the core innovations to help our customers.
The three companies will explore joint development of cloud solutions on Azure Stack to support customers with specific use cases to satisfy regulatory requirements and for requirements at the edge including SLT’s content-streaming services.
