A consistent Microsoft cloud experience entirely within your own boundary - run AI, productivity and your own applications on infrastructure you own, with full control over data residency, compliance and operations.
Sovereign Private Cloud is Microsoft's portfolio for running cloud services in sovereign, regulated and disconnected environments. It gives you an Azure-consistent experience while keeping infrastructure, data and operations fully under your control.
Run Microsoft AI services, productivity workloads and your own applications side by side on the same secure foundation - connected to Azure for unified management, or fully disconnected for air-gapped operations.
Talk to a sovereignty expertTrusted where data residency, regulation and resilience are non-negotiable - government, defence, financial services, healthcare, energy and manufacturing.
Meet the strictest jurisdictional mandates by keeping sensitive workloads and data entirely on-premises, under your own governance.
Operate fully disconnected from the public cloud with a local control plane - ideal for classified, isolated or highly regulated environments.
Move ageing Exchange, SharePoint and Skype for Business deployments onto a modern, secure, Azure-consistent platform - without giving up control.
Use a sovereign environment as a resilient fallback, with site-to-cloud disaster recovery and the ability to keep operating locally during a crisis.
Azure Local provides the infrastructure; productivity and AI suites run on top - combine them on the same platform.
Microsoft's full-stack infrastructure software - compute, storage, networking and lifecycle management - running on validated hardware in your facilities. Run virtual machines and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), with Azure Monitor, Azure Site Recovery, Azure IoT Operations and external SAN support, scaling from a single node to multi-rack clusters.
Run Exchange Server, SharePoint Server and Skype for Business Server on customer-owned Azure Local infrastructure. A validated reference architecture with certified hardware and a hardened security baseline, hybrid or fully disconnected - and Microsoft's commitment to support the Subscription editions through at least 2035. Generally available today.
Bring AI to your data. Deploy and run generative and predictive models from the Foundry catalogue on Arc-enabled Kubernetes, bring your own ONNX/vLLM models, or consume Model-as-a-Service - through an OpenAI-compatible API, on CPU or GPU, with Microsoft Entra ID security. Inference stays entirely on your infrastructure.
Azure AI capabilities that run on your own infrastructure - so sensitive data is processed locally and never sent to the cloud.
Foundry Local serves chat, content-generation and predictive models on Arc-enabled Kubernetes. Model-catalogue sync, CPU and GPU inference, multi-model deployments and bring-your-own models - behind an OpenAI-compatible API secured with Entra ID and TLS.
Retrieval Augmented Generation over your private, on-premises content. A complete ingest-embed-store-retrieve pipeline with hosted or bring-your-own models, deep, hybrid, multimodal and vector search, and Entra-based role access - grounded answers without your data leaving the building.
Azure AI Video Indexer (Arc-enabled) analyses live video at the edge with low latency - retail monitoring, safety and queue detection, and QA on the manufacturing floor. Define detection logic in natural language; video data stays on-premises.
In connected mode, systems sync with Azure for management, updates and integration (at least once every 30 days). In disconnected mode, you build, deploy and manage VMs and containerised apps from a local control plane - fully isolated for sovereign or air-gapped scenarios.
Scale to match the site: single-node systems for edge and branch locations, small clusters for regional offices and factories, and large multi-rack clusters for centralised data centres.
