Azure Stack Edge is a cloud-managed hardware platform that brings the compute, storage, and intelligence of Azure to the edge. It includes ruggedized options (Pro R and Mini R) designed for harsh environments such as military, disaster relief, or industrial settings. Azure Percept was a related ecosystem of edge AI hardware and services, primarily focused on vision and audio, which has since transitioned into the broader Azure IoT and Edge portfolio.
