Azure Arc Simplifies Unified Management for a Leading Manufacturing Company

The client is a leading manufacturing company based in the United States. The customer had over 300 on-premises servers and they needed a unified patch management tool to manage their hybrid infrastructure. Their challenges included:

• No unified tool to manage updates for their hybrid workloads hosted on Azure and on-premises.
• Their current patch compliance tool lacked visibility of their server updates via a single control plane.
• The client’s team lacked the experience to deploy and manage a centralized patch management tool.

SNP proposed a unified management solution with Azure Arc where:

• We onboard all the servers of their hybrid infrastructure to be managed with Azure Arc.
• With Arc, the client got centralized visibility across their hybrid infrastructure.
• We applied update management with patch level status with central dashboard on Azure Arc.
• We verified all server updates with an overall patch health report of their infrastructure,

After a successful delivery of the engagement, the following benefits were achieved:

• The client could generate an inventory report of all their servers with the Azure Arc Solution.
• Patch health documents were generated for all their Azure Arc Servers.
• Continuous governance and compliance scanning across their hybrid workloads.
• Quick turn around on remediating the servers which were not updated
• Saved significant manual efforts of patch management for the customer’s internal IT team.
