Your AWS Outposts or Azure Stack Edge Deserves Better Than an Office Cupboard

Your AWS Outposts or Azure Stack Edge Deserves Better Than an Office Cupboard

At Datanet, we provide a better home for your hybrid cloud hardware.

Hybrid Cloud Needs the Right Infrastructure

Solutions such as AWS Outposts extend public cloud services directly into on-premises environments, allowing businesses to run workloads locally while using the same tools, APIs and management experience as the cloud. This approach is particularly valuable for organisations that require low latency access, local data processing, or strict data residency while still benefiting from cloud scalability.

Similarly, Azure Stack Edge enables organisations to run Azure services at the edge, processing and analysing data locally before integrating with the wider Azure ecosystem.

While the software experience is cloud-like, the hardware still needs to live somewhere secure, reliable and professionally managed.

The Problem with Office Deployments

Too often, Outposts or Stack Edge servers are deployed wherever space is available — an office rack, a small comms room, or even a cupboard.

This raises several issues:

• Physical security concerns for auditors and compliance teams
• Power and cooling limitations in office environments
• Limited resilience and lack of redundant infrastructure
• Restricted connectivity options for low-latency cloud integration

For platforms designed to support critical workloads, these limitations can quickly become operational risks.

A Better Approach: Data Centre Deployment

Datanet offers a secure and resilient environment for your hybrid cloud hardware. Instead of deploying your Outposts or Stack Edge servers in an office, you can have them delivered directly to our data centre, where our technicians will rack, connect and integrate them into your environment.

Our team will ensure your infrastructure is fully connected and ready for use, providing:

• Secure, access-controlled data centre facilities
• Resilient power and cooling
• High-performance network connectivity
• Hands-on technical support for installation and integration

Your developers can continue using the familiar AWS and Azure tooling they already know — while your infrastructure benefits from a professionally managed hosting environment.

From Single Servers to Full Racks

Whether you are deploying a single 1U edge server or multiple racks of hybrid cloud infrastructure, Datanet can support your deployment.

Our experienced engineers handle the physical installation, network integration and connectivity so your team can focus on what matters most — building and running applications.

Ready to Move Your Hybrid Cloud Hardware?

If your AWS Outposts or Azure Stack Edge devices are currently sitting in an office environment, it might be time to give them a more suitable home.
