We’re pleased to announce that the OmniSwitch 6900, running the upcoming AOS 8.10R4, is now officially certified for Microsoft Azure Local.
This certification confirms seamless interoperability with Azure Local’s physical network requirements and reinforces ALE’s commitment to supporting modern hybrid and edge environments.
Why This Matters
AI, Data Sovereignty & On-Prem Reinvention
AI, analytics, and sensitive workloads are rapidly returning being deployed on-premises. Organizations are seeking greater data sovereignty, lower operational costs, and tighter control over their infrastructure. Azure Local directly addresses these needs by bringing Azure capabilities into the customer’s environment.
Cloud Agility, On-Prem Control
With Azure Local, enterprises can deploy a distributed footprint — on-prem, at the edge, or in hybrid mode — while keeping the familiar operational agility of the Azure cloud. The OmniSwitch 6900 certification ensures that ALE switching can be deployed as part of these architectures with confidence.
Expanding Partnership Opportunities
This certification creates new collaboration pathways for technology and integration partners. With ALE’s high-performance switching platform, OmniSwitch 6900 now validated for Azure Local environments, partners can confidently design, deploy, and scale hybrid and edge cloud solutions that meet the rising demand for on-premises AI and data-sovereign workloads.
