Spirhed Norway was named the winner of the Dell Technologies Breakthrough Award 2025 at the Dell Partner Awards in Oslo.
The Breakthrough Award recognizes partners that have achieved rapid growth and strong momentum within Dell’s ecosystem over the past year.
For Spirhed, it marks a milestone in the company’s journey as a trusted integration partner for Microsoft Azure Local and Dell Technologies, helping customers modernize hybrid-cloud platforms built on certified infrastructure.
After joining Dell’s Partner Program in late 2024 and reaching Gold status in Q1 2025, Spirhed has continued to expand across Dell’s hybrid-cloud portfolio.
We’re proud of this recognition and value the collaboration within Dell’s partner community in Norway.
For customers and partners, this award signals that Spirhed is ready to deliver secure, compliant, and resilient hybrid-cloud foundations across datacenter, edge, and cloud — built on the Dell + Microsoft platform.
Our Approach
Spirhed designs and delivers modern hybrid-cloud infrastructures built on Microsoft Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI) and Windows Server with Storage Spaces Direct (S2D). These environments run on Microsoft-validated Integrated Systems such as the Dell AX-series — pre-validated and certified for Azure Local.
The company’s approach reflects the innovation recognized by the Dell Technologies Breakthrough Award, combining modern design principles with tested, enterprise-ready technology.
Each solution is designed and scaled to meet both current and future business needs. This ensures efficient use of compute and storage resources, protects investment value, and maintains compliance and reliability.
In addition, Spirhed builds on validated switch architectures — including Dell PowerSwitch — delivering consistent throughput, low latency, and simplified operations.
The platform integrates seamlessly with Azure Arc and Microsoft cloud services. As a result, customers gain unified operations, automation, and policy-driven governance across datacenter, edge, and cloud.
Together, these capabilities create a secure and well-governed hybrid-cloud foundation — efficient today and ready for tomorrow’s AI-enabled workloads..
What this means for customers and partners 👉
Modernized datacenter platforms. Proven paths for migrating and modernizing virtualization environments — including VMware — onto secure, high-performance Azure Local platforms built on validated infrastructure.
Secure foundations by design. Each platform is segmented and protected within a dedicated management domain, applying the same security principles used for Private Cloud, Sovereign Cloud, and Hybrid Cloud deployments.
Unified management and governance. From disconnected on-premises deployments to Azure-connected environments via Azure Arc, operations remain consistent, automated, and policy-driven.
Compliance-ready operations. Our designs align with frameworks such as NIS2, DORA, and ISO, supporting customers who require traceability and auditability.
Business continuity and resilience. Optional BCDR services complement our core platform delivery, helping protect data and sustain uptime for mission-critical workloads.
Spirhed helps organizations modernize datacenters and build secure, high-performance hybrid cloud platforms — recognized through the Dell Technologies Breakthrough Award.
