To send your data over the network to Azure, choose between an Azure Stack Edge physical device or a Data Box Gateway virtual device. Both the devices let you send image, media, and other data from the on-premises applications to Azure.
Azure Stack Edge physical device can be equipped with a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or a Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) to enable Edge compute so that you can analyze, process, and transform the data before you upload it to the cloud. You can use the Azure portal to configure, manage, and monitor your Azure Stack Edge and Data Box Gateway devices.
