Azure Stack Scalability
SS
SamSubbaiah
General Manager for Data and Software Engineering at Phillips
When evaluating Azure's scalability in comparison to Google Cloud, scalability indeed stands out as a crucial factor. It is essential to note that scalability can also be influenced by the availability of services in specific regions. In regions such as the United States and the European Union, which are considered tier-one regions, Microsoft Azure offers a robust array of cloud services and resources, making scalability quite feasible. However, for Azure to enhance its scalability further, it may need to expand its presence by increasing the availability of services in additional regions and zones. To address this, Azure could consider expanding its services into regions like India and China, where there is a growing demand for cloud resources. This expansion would contribute to Azure's ability to scale effectively and cater to a more extensive global user base. I would rate it seven out of ten.
Azure Stack scalability is limited by rack. You can scale and add more capacity within the same rack, but it is limited to 16 nodes. Or add more regions (racks). Scalability is very limited by constraints. I give it a seven out of ten.

It is a scalable solution.
There are around 30 users of the product in our company, and I get it to the needs of approximately 250 clients of our company who use the solution.
My company does not necessarily plan to increase the use of the solution in the near future. The usage of the solution will organically grow if required.
The tool is very scalable. We have around 50 users in our organization.

The solution is scalable.
We do not have scalability experience because we are in the process of finalizing the cloud adoption framework and giving the green light for production. We have to finalize the governance and other things before we will allow production. While we wait, we are using the solution for proof of concept things.

The word scalability is a misnomer. It is generally said that the cloud has unlimited scalability but that is where we face challenges. When we try to scale the system from one plan to another, our DevOps engineer reports that the system is failing. We have reached out to Microsoft but they have been unable to solve our specific issue so scalability is challenging.

The solution is extremely scalable. The cloud is based on the concept of scalability. If the cloud is not scalable, there's no need even to call it a cloud.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten in terms of scalability.
On one of our deployments, the number of users is between 300 and 500. Our deployments vary in size. That includes the Azure Exchange only. There are other parts running on the Azure Stack.
The solution is suitable for all sizes of businesses. If they are looking for a solution that is flexible and scalable, this is a good option. It would be good, for example, for a logistics company where the Stack is mission-critical.
If something goes down, switching operations happen in milliseconds or microseconds, maybe. Therefore, even if the virtual machine is down, the end user, the logistics service, will not be interrupted.

Considering the administration part and scope for improvement, I rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten since it needs improvement at a user level and administration level regarding its consumption. The administrator does have all the rights, but then there should be some level of configuration needed if you go at an application level or at a service level where a user is using native capabilities of Azure should have an option for the administrator to extend it to the end user also.
There are around 15 users of Azure Stack in my company.

Right now, it is not in the production stage as it is still under the development stage, because of which I can't give a number on how many people are using it currently.

View full review »We have had a good experience with scalability. Azure Stack's replication is well-written. It's flexible. For example, you can scale it differently on workdays and weekends to reduce operating costs. We automatically reduce the sizing of the solution. We stop some services like VMs on the weekends if we can. Scaling up and stopping resources is automated based on a set schedule. This is useful.

At this stage, we are quite pleased with Office 365 Azure. To me, Azure offers a pathway for dealing with the active directory, and for storing all our Office 365 information assets.

The scalability is okay. However, AWS is easier to scale. With AWS, you don't have to update your CPU and RAM. Everything's done for you.

So far we have not found any problems with scalability. Azure Stack was easily extendable. We started with a small cloud environment, we had to extend it over time and it grows as we do.
Our client base is growing rapidly. We are now above a hundred clients and on average there are two to three users per client.

I am the only person who is using this solution in my company, as I test the features that I think we will need.
View full review »I think the scalability is pretty good because from an IP point of view we can scale this solution to become very massive. You can start with the full node and go to 60 or 80 nodes very easily. So the scalability is very good.
View full review »In terms of scalability, there is a calculator available and we can convert the scalability with it.
Because a chain solution was introduced by Nutanix to a Moscow based organization, Microsoft wants to introduce the same solution, but with better features including Microsoft 2019. So 110%, because some are using the Microsoft Azure tech right now in India.
There are about 10 - 15,000 users. They are providing the data production manager, data backup and are showing the customer that we can do a backup on GP back in 60 seconds. In Microsoft Azure, the only option is a little data backup which we need to buy through some third party tool to take a backup of our VM. Otherwise, we need to take a subscription on our Azure to make a side recovery for the VR purpose or the higher rating purpose. A good figure is also real time monitoring. But with Microsoft Azure Suite, the monitoring tool is a little bit weak.

Azure Stack should be open to different technologies for more virtualization environments to accept it. With that, it would be acceptable to have different interfaces from other technologies, as they are already included in some environments.
