Microsoft unveils solution in India to empower organisations with advanced hybrid cloud capabilities

He added that Intel Select Solutions combine Intel-based hardware with Microsoft Azure Stack HCI to form the basis for simplified, low-cost, hyperconverged infrastructure by enabling scalable storage, compute and memory.
