We are proud to announce the availability of the public preview for Cloud and Edge Scale Units for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
Cloud and edge scale units for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management deliver on two key business objectives:
- Whenever a company is offline or when network latency is high, mission critical processes must keep running.
- Whenever throughput is high and heavy processes run in parallel, manufacturing and warehouse processes must still support high user productivity.
One important foundation for cloud and edge scale units is a hybrid multi-node topology for Supply Chain Management. We have evolved the Dynamics 365 architecture into a loosely coupled system that runs selective business processes in a distributed model.
'Scale units' are the environments that run those business processes, where all computation capacity is reserved for the processes and data in the assigned workloads.
'Workloads' define the set of business processes, data, and including rules, validation, and ownership that can run on scale units. The preview capabilities include a workload for manufacturing execution and one for warehouse execution. These workloads bring the processes and data from the execution phase of the manufacturing and warehouse processes into the scale units.
Learn more in the documentation for Cloud and Edge Scale Units for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, which also contains information about how to the preview works and how to engage and stay tuned for more information on the capabilities.
