Microsoft Azure Stack is an extension of Azure. It gives the same experience as a fully public cloud such as pure Microsoft Azure. Azure stack from Oman Data park brings the agility and innovation of cloud computing to address primarily the concerns around data security and sovereignty by hosting at our Tier III facilities. This enables our customers to build modern applications across a locally hosted version of Azure or hybrid cloud environment with the right flexibility and control.
Data residency and sovereignty were major concerns that prevented many organisations in Oman from taking advantage of Azure services. By placing your sensitive data and applications within ODP operated Azure Stacks, you can ensure adherence to local and industry-specific data privacy regulations, without compromising on access to Azure functionality. You can even build hybrid applications that span the Azure Stack and Azure cloud, while maintaining data sovereignty.
ODP’s Azure Stack’s security is based on two core Microsoft security principles:
1. Assume Breach – rather than simply providing tools that prevent a breach, Azure Stack also includes measures that detect and contain any intrusions, preventing a compromise of a single area that could jeopardize the entire system.
2. Hardened by Default – Azure Stack is built on a secure-by-design framework. Its design follows industry best practices such as Microsoft SDL; includes encryption at-rest and in- transit; and a military-level OS security baseline.
The consistency between Azure and Azure Stack platforms allows developers to build and deploy apps in either environment.
The tools, application model, self-service portal, DevOps services, extensions and APIs are all identical across the two platforms. This allows developers to either build in Azure Stack first and then roll out globally, or take advantage of Azure’s scale and advanced toolkits for testing and development and then deploy locally if preferred.
This makes application design and delivery faster, more efficient and more reliable, and allows more innovative and adventurous applications to be designed.
Cloud technology has proven its worth time and again and powered remarkable progress for countless businesses, but it relies on the business being connected.
Where connectivity is constrained due to location, or where the bandwidth requirement for the business is especially high, use of Azure can be cost prohibitive or even impossible. However, by incorporating Azure Stack, the business can process large volumes of data locally with high-performance toolkits, and then aggregate
in Azure for further analytics when more convenient, sharing common application logic across both.

Queue Storage
Durable queues for large-volume cloud services
Decouple components
Use Azure Queue Storage to build flexible applications and separate functions for better durability across large workloads. When you design applications for scale, application components can be decoupled, so that they can scale independently. Queue storage gives you asynchronous message queueing for communication between application components, whether they are running in the cloud, on the desktop, on-premises, or on mobile devices.
Build more flexible applications
Queue Storage helps to make your application scalable and less sensitive to individual component failure. If part of your architecture goes down, messages are buffered, and then naturally picked up by other message processing nodes, which maintains the integrity of your workload.
Handle traffic bursts - Scale for bursts
Use Queue Storage to rightsize your service deployment. Applications absorb unexpected traffic bursts, which prevents servers from being overwhelmed by a sudden flood of requests. Monitor queue length to add elasticity to your application, and deploy or hibernate additional worker nodes based on customer demand
Table Storage
A NoSQL key-value store for rapid development using massive semi-structured datasets
Store petabytes of structured data
Use Azure Table storage to store petabytes of semi-structured data and keep costs down. Unlike many data stores—on-premises or cloud-based—Table storage lets you scale up without having to manually shard your dataset.
Supports flexible data schema
Table storage is excellent for flexible datasets—web app user data, address books, device information, and other metadata—and lets you build cloud applications without locking down the data model to particular schemas. Because different rows in the same table can have a different structure—for example, order information in one row, and customer information in another—you can evolve your application and table schema without taking it offline.
Made for enterprise
Table storage embraces a strong consistency model. When data is inserted or updated in Table storage, all further accesses to that data will see the latest update. This is critical for systems with multiple users who are simultaneously updating data store.
