Azure IaaS, PaaS, Azure Virtual Desktop, Azure Arc hybrid management and Azure Sentinel cloud-native SIEM for Latin American organizations — GLADiiUM as your authorized Microsoft Azure partner in Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica, Miami and Puerto Rico
Microsoft Azure is the cloud platform of choice for Latin American organizations with significant Microsoft investments. If your organization runs Microsoft 365, Active Directory, SQL Server, Dynamics 365 or Windows Server, Azure provides the natural cloud extension of that ecosystem: native identity integration via Azure Active Directory (now Entra ID), seamless hybrid connectivity via Azure Arc, and AI capabilities via Azure AI Foundry that build directly on your existing Microsoft licensing and data.
GLADiiUM Technology Partners is an authorized Microsoft partner across Latin America, delivering Azure migrations, managed cloud services and Azure-native security solutions for organizations in Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Mexico, Miami and Puerto Rico. We design Azure deployments that satisfy the specific regulatory requirements of each country — including data residency considerations for financial institutions under CNBS, SBP and SUGEF, and HIPAA compliance for healthcare organizations in Puerto Rico and Miami.
Azure IaaS and PaaS
Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Storage, Azure Networking (VNet, ExpressRoute, VPN Gateway) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for Latin American workload migrations and cloud-native applications.
Azure Virtual Desktop
Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) for secure remote work and application delivery. Centralized desktop management from Azure with per-user licensing and automatic scaling. Ideal for distributed Latin American workforces and maquilas with multiple sites.
Azure Arc Hybrid Management
Azure Arc extends Azure management to on-premise servers, Kubernetes clusters and edge infrastructure. Manage on-premise Lenovo ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile servers through Azure Arc as if they were Azure resources.
Azure Sentinel SIEM
Microsoft Sentinel is Azure's cloud-native SIEM and SOAR platform. Connects to Microsoft 365, Azure, on-premise infrastructure and third-party security tools for unified threat detection. Integrates with GLADiiUM's NSOC operations.
Azure AI Foundry
Azure AI Foundry provides access to GPT-4o, o1, Phi-3 and other OpenAI models within Azure's compliance boundary. Data stays in Azure and is not used to train OpenAI models. Enterprise AI with Azure's security controls.
Azure Migration Services
Azure migration services: Azure Migrate for discovery and assessment, Azure Site Recovery for VM lift-and-shift, and Database Migration Service for SQL Server, Oracle and PostgreSQL migration to Azure SQL or Azure Database.
Azure Services for Latin American Organizations
Azure for Financial Institutions
Azure provides the cloud infrastructure for financial institutions across Latin America with specific capabilities for the regulated financial sector: Azure Policy for compliance enforcement, Azure Key Vault for encryption key management, Azure Defender for SQL protecting database workloads, and Microsoft Sentinel integration for the continuous monitoring required by CNBS (Honduras), SBP (Panama) and SUGEF (Costa Rica). Azure’s compliance certifications — PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2 — satisfy the third-party compliance requirements that financial regulators expect from cloud providers used by supervised institutions.
Azure Virtual Desktop for Distributed Workforces
Azure Virtual Desktop is the most cost-effective solution for organizations with distributed workforces across Central America that need secure access to business applications without managing physical desktop infrastructure. For maquilas and manufacturing groups with offices in multiple cities, AVD centralizes application management in Azure while delivering consistent desktop experience to users across all locations. Licensing is included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Enterprise E3/E5.
Azure Arc for Hybrid Management
Many Latin American organizations run hybrid environments: some workloads on-premise (on Lenovo ThinkAgile or ThinkSystem), others in Azure. Azure Arc unifies management of both: on-premise servers appear in the Azure portal as Azure-managed resources, receive Azure Policy compliance enforcement, support Azure Monitor metrics and logs, and can be managed with the same Azure CLI and PowerShell tooling as cloud resources. For organizations running Lenovo ThinkAgile MX with Azure Stack HCI, Arc is the native management platform.
Azure Sentinel for Cloud-Native SIEM
Azure Sentinel aggregates security signals from Microsoft 365, Azure infrastructure, on-premise Active Directory, Veeam backup and hundreds of third-party connectors into a cloud-native SIEM. GLADiiUM integrates Azure Sentinel with our NSOC operations for clients running hybrid Azure environments, providing the 24/7 monitoring and incident response that Sentinel’s analytics generate but do not respond to automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions — Microsoft Azure Latin America
Does Azure data residency satisfy financial regulators in Latin America?
Azure has data center regions in Brazil (Brazil South, Brazil Southeast), and uses US regions (East US, West US) for most Latin American customers without a local region. For financial institutions in Honduras, Panama and Costa Rica that have data residency requirements, GLADiiUM designs Azure deployments that store regulated data in the Brazil regions or implements Azure Arc with on-premise storage to keep regulated data within the country while using Azure for non-regulated workloads. For each client, we analyze the specific regulatory requirements and design the appropriate data residency architecture.
What is the difference between Azure Arc and Azure Stack HCI?
Azure Arc extends Azure management (Policy, Monitor, Defender) to any on-premise server or Kubernetes cluster — it is a management plane extension, not an infrastructure product. Azure Stack HCI is a hyperconverged infrastructure platform that runs on certified hardware (including Lenovo ThinkAgile MX) and provides Azure-native virtualization, AKS and Azure Virtual Desktop on-premise with cloud-billing model. Arc manages the HCI cluster; Stack HCI is the infrastructure itself. Both can be used together or independently.
