Dynamics 365 for Operations

Cloud and Edge

A primarily cloud-based scenario that

combines the power of a Microsoft

managed cloud service with plans to

enable organizations to run their

business processes from application

servers at the edges, meaning that

transactions are supported by local

application services, and business data is

stored locally.

Cloud


Cloud and Edge

• Hybrid of Cloud and On-Premise deployments

• Transactions are entered via a local application, and the data

is stored locally in the customer’s data center

• Data is replicated to the Cloud

• Central cloud node which provides a single view of the

business data

• Provides failover to the cloud

Cloud and Edge

Support for deploying application servers on the edge

• Some operations like retail & manufacturing may require a local application service for business

continuity or integration with local systems

• In some geographies, internet connectivity is poor and Azure Express Route capability may not be

available

• Some geographies require transactions and some business data be captured and stored locally in

addition to the cloud

Cloud and edge deployments gives the best of both worlds

• Business data is supported by local application services, and data is stored locally

• The central cloud model provides a single view of the business across distributed compute and

application services in the edges

• The power of the cloud is used for intelligence

Local Business Data

A scenario that will allow customers to deploy a Dynamics 365

for Operations environment into their or their partner's data

center and run their operations without replicating business data

to the cloud.

Local Business Data


Local Business Data

• Nothing lives in the cloud

• Customer responsible for deploying all of the

applications

• Customer responsible for maintenance of all of the

environments

• H|A and D|R not included

Local Business Data

Some organizations do not want to store their data on infrastructure they don’t fully control

• Industry regulations may mandate full access to infrastructure and data

• Enterprise software standards or hardware investments may require private infrastructure

Local business data option meets the needs of these customers

• Dynamics 365 for Operations software can be deployed locally with management via Lifecycle Services in

the Cloud

• There is no customer data processing outside the customer’s or their partner’s data center unless the

customer enables it
