Introduction to Azure Arc for Data Services on Lenovo ThinkAgile Series
With Azure Arc, you can leverage Azure data services on Lenovo ThinkAgile MX on-premises infrastructure. Learn how Azure Arc works in this solution guide.
What is Azure Arc for Data Services?
Azure Arc for Data Services is a set of technologies from Microsoft that allows you to run Azure database services on your on-premises infrastructure instead of relying solely on public cloud solutions. This enables organizations to manage their data services, such as SQL Server Managed Instance, in a hybrid cloud environment, providing flexibility and control over their data.
How does Lenovo ThinkAgile MX support Azure SQL Managed Instance?
Lenovo ThinkAgile MX supports Azure SQL Managed Instance by enabling organizations to run this service on their local infrastructure. This approach helps meet regulatory requirements and offers a cost-effective solution. Additionally, it provides features like high availability, unified management for data workloads, and the ability to scale elastically, all while maintaining data security.
What are the prerequisites for deploying Azure SQL Managed Instance?
To deploy Azure SQL Managed Instance on Lenovo ThinkAgile MX, you need a working Azure Stack HCI cluster, Azure Kubernetes Services enabled on that cluster, a Kubernetes cluster with Azure Arc enabled, and an Azure Data Controller deployed on the Kubernetes cluster. These components are essential for ensuring a successful implementation of the service.
