Md. Al Fuad, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer of CoLoCity Limited said, “In today’s digital landscape, the importance of security and compliance cannot be overstated. As businesses navigate a complex web of regulations and cyber security threats, finding solutions that offer both innovation and protection is paramount.

That’s where Microsoft Azure Stack Hub comes in. As an extension of Azure, it brings the agility and innovation of cloud computing to on-premises data centers, empowering businesses to modernize their digital infrastructure while maintaining control and security.

But for many organizations, especially those handling sensitive data, compliance with regulations like PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP, and GDPR is non-negotiable. Microsoft Inc. partnered with Coalfire Systems, Inc., a trusted leader in cyber security, to evaluate Azure Stack’s ability to meet these standards.

Coalfire’s assessment is clear: Azure Stack Hub, when deployed in Dell Technologies integrated systems, provides a compliant hosting infrastructure for various regulatory frameworks, including CSA CCM, PCI DSS, and FedRAMP.

We understand that transitioning to a new platform can be scary. That is why we offer a 15-days free trial or Proof of Concept (POC) on CoLoCity.Cloud, powered by Microsoft Azure Stack Hub and Dell Technologies.

With Azure Stack Hub, businesses can confidently embrace the cloud while meeting regulatory obligations. It’s a testament to Microsoft and Dell Technologies’ commitment to empowering organizations in today’s digital age”.
