We performed a comparison between Azure Stack and High Performance Computing (HPC) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hybrid Cloud Computing Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's not as complex compared to Amazon or AWS products. Azure Stack is easier to use within the cloud."
"Azure Stack provides us with computational power. We also get an option to have it with Azure Cloud, which is beneficial. We don't need to buy any other extra servers or any virtual machines with high-end graphics."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment for services such as SSH, creating a web site, and Azure billing services to measure the consumption of resources."
"Azure offers a wide range of services, catering to various needs."
"We have found the Kubernetes version is one of the key components which we are using heavily."
"Azure Stack is very stable."
"One of the features I really appreciate is the Hybrid Cloud Extension UI."
"The most valuable thing about Azure Stack is that it provides a unified control panel for managing cloud services."
"HPC speeds up delivery time and reduces costs. It comes with the capability and flexibility to understand how engineering products work. You can understand the outcome without spending time and money."
"Our customers can publish scientific reports in prestigious magazines. HPC offers strong computing capabilities."
"Azure Stack could use some improvement when it comes to seamless support for disaster recovery scenarios of higher availability regarding multi-regions."
"Customers need to consider the Disaster Recovery. Microsoft tech is only providing support to Azure."
"Our only issue with Azure Stack so far is that the networking is very closed. You need to have the extended LAN to connect the internal LAN to the Azure Stack. Any connection we have needs site-to-site VPN connectivity instead of an internal connection, so Azure Stack has room for improvement in the networking area."
"I feel that Azure Stack has so many different variables which are not very clear...In general, the initial setup phase of Azure Stack is an area with concern that needs improvement."
"I would like to see better support for containers."
"I believe the only room for improvement is that I am based in Nairobi, if it has even a local node for Azure, I believe most customers will prefer that to reduce latencies and everything else when using the Azure Stack."
"The licensing model of Azure Stack is complicated."
"It is not easy to set up. Technical expertise is required."
"The solution is expensive."
"There was a buzz around the integration of quantum computing and HPC. However, I don't see a real-life use case for it."
