Your own personal Azure: Microsoft’s new Azure Stack for private clouds | Ars Technica

From a summary of Azure news at the Ignite conference

"Today at Microsoft's Ignite conference in Chicago, the company's executives will make a set of major announcements about the company's server, management, and cloud offerings. At the top of the list is Azure Stack, a cloud infrastructure platform that packages the capabilities of Microsoft's public Azure cloud for use by customers in private data centers and public hosting services. Microsoft also announced Microsoft Operations Management Suite, a set of Azure-based management tools that will help companies manage public and private cloud infrastructure as well as virtual and physical Windows and Linux servers. Lastly, there's a new preview of Windows Server 2016 and the Systems Center 2016 systems management platform. The new Server 2016 preview includes the first release of Nano Server, a minimal Windows Server environment designed for "headless" cloud and virtual server applications that greatly reduces the server operating system footprint."
