Will Windows Server get feature parity with Azure Stack HCI?

Will Windows Server get feature parity with Azure Stack HCI? There are many environments that would benefit from the enhancements made in HCI, but they cannot connect back to the internet at all. We need parity between the solutions.

We will not be taking any HCI features away from Windows Server which are there today. However, Azure Stack HCI is our strategic direction for our HCI platform. Foundational improvements (such as quality, diagnosability, supportability) accrue to both, but new feature innovation (such as Stretch Clustering) are being exclusive to Azure Stack HCI.

How will the new features work in areas where access to the internet is not allowed?

Hi. That disconnected scenario is one we are thinking about very much right now, not off the table for the future.

Ned, That is what I like to hear! Look forward to hearing more in the future!
