Microsoft chooses 3-it as first Azure HCI BE Partner

With Azure Benefits, customers can now run exclusive Azure-only workloads on Azure Stack HCI, like highly demanded Windows Server Azure Edition guests, free extended security updates, free guest configuration, and more to come! This relies on an platform attestation service built into the Azure Stack HCI OS, which validates and helps with enforcing that VMs are indeed running on Azure Stack HCI.

Windows Server subscription is a simple way of paying for unlimited Windows Server guests through Azure subscription – no more keys or true-up! By simply flipping a switch, automatic VM activation will be enabled on your entire Azure Stack HCI cluster, and you are now ready to deploy unlimited VMs. You are also unlimited in the editions you can use – always getting the latest versions of Windows Server, including the best part … Windows Server Azure Edition!
