Microsoft Named Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure

Microsoft has been recognized as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure for the fourth consecutive year.

This recognition reflects the strength of Microsoft's unified approach to distributed infrastructure, which allows organizations to manage infrastructure across datacenters, edge locations, multi-cloud environments, and sovereign deployments through a consistent Azure foundation.

Azure Local brings Azure infrastructure and services into customer-controlled locations, while Azure Arc extends Azure management and governance to resources running in data centers, at the edge, and across multi-cloud environments.
