Key Features

Everything you need in one device

Microsoft-Validated Integrated System

The AX-770 is a certified Azure Stack HCI Integrated System — fully validated in the Microsoft Azure Stack HCI catalog. Customers skip hardware compatibility testing and move directly to deployment, backed by joint Dell-Microsoft support.

6th Gen Xeon — Granite Rapids

Dual Intel Xeon Scalable 6th Generation (Granite Rapids) processors deliver up to 86 cores per CPU with PCIe 5.0 and DDR5-6400 MT/s — providing exceptional VM density, storage controller bandwidth, and AI/ML acceleration for AKS workloads.

💾

All-NVMe E3.S Configuration

16 E3.S NVMe drives in a dedicated G5 x4 backplane deliver up to 245 TB of raw NVMe capacity per node. All-NVMe Storage Spaces Direct pools provide the IOPS and latency required for demanding database and virtualisation workloads.

🤖

NVIDIA GPU Acceleration

AX-770 supports NVIDIA A16, L4, L40S, and RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs — enabling AI/ML inference via AKS workloads, GPU-accelerated VDI via Azure Virtual Desktop, and GPU passthrough for specialised applications.

🔧

Dell OpenManage Integration

Dell OpenManage Integration for Windows Admin Center extends HCI management with iDRAC9 hardware monitoring, firmware update management, and lifecycle operations — alongside standard Azure Stack HCI cluster management in a unified console.

💳

Flexible Acquisition via APEX

Available as capex purchase or through Dell APEX as-a-service consumption — APEX Cloud Platform for Azure Stack HCI delivers full hardware/software stack with simplified operations and consumption-based billing aligned to Azure subscription costs.

About the Dell Integrated System for Azure Stack HCI (AX-770)

The Dell Integrated System for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI (AX-770) is Dell's current-generation validated HCI platform, combining the latest Intel Xeon Scalable 6th Generation processors (Granite Rapids, up to 86 cores per socket) with all-NVMe E3.S storage and full Microsoft Azure Stack HCI certification. As a Microsoft-validated Integrated System, the AX-770 is listed in the Azure Stack HCI hardware catalog and ships with end-to-end validation covering hardware, firmware, and Azure Stack HCI software compatibility.

Storage configuration centres on 16 E3.S NVMe drives in a dedicated G5 x4 backplane, scaling from 2 to 16 drives per node (3.2 TB to 245 TB raw capacity). All-NVMe Storage Spaces Direct pools provide the sub-millisecond latency and high IOPS required for database consolidation, VDI, and enterprise virtualisation. Memory scales to 8 TB via 32 DDR5 RDIMM slots at 6400 MT/s, making AX-770 suitable for in-memory database workloads as well as high-density VM environments.

GPU acceleration support — including the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition added in the latest Azure Local release — makes AX-770 nodes capable of hosting AI/ML inference workloads via AKS on Azure Stack HCI alongside traditional VM workloads. Dell ProDeploy deployment services and ProSupport lifecycle support are available for end-to-end peace of mind. For organisations preferring operational expenditure, Dell APEX Cloud Platform for Azure Stack HCI provides the full solution as a consumption-based service.

Use Cases

Ideal for a wide range of deployments

🖥️

Enterprise VM Consolidation

1,024 VMs per host and 24 TB RAM enable extreme VM density — consolidate dozens of legacy hosts into a validated, cloud-managed AX-770 HCI cluster with unified Azure portal management.

🐳

AKS on Azure Stack HCI

AX-770's Xeon 6 compute and NVMe storage underpin AKS clusters at the edge — run containerised AI/ML inference, line-of-business apps, and IoT processing on-premises with Azure-managed Kubernetes.

🤖

GPU-Accelerated Workloads

NVIDIA GPU options enable Azure Virtual Desktop GPU sessions, AI/ML inference alongside VM workloads, and GPU passthrough for specialised rendering or scientific computing applications on the same HCI cluster.

🌐

Stretched Cluster DR

AX-770 nodes are validated for Azure Stack HCI stretched cluster deployments — pair identical nodes across two sites for zero-RPO synchronous replication with automatic VM failover.
