Poznáváte se v některé z těchto situací?

Managed Services

Cloud i on-prem spravujete jinými nástroji, podle jiných pravidel. Jednotná správa napříč prostředími neexistuje.

Search

Logy jsou roztříštěné. Když přijde incident, hledáte příčinu v několika systémech najednou místo jednoho místa.

Quality

Blíží se end-of-life support na serverech a Microsoft přestane vydávat bezpečnostní záplaty. Compliance problém čeká za rohem.

Migrations

Migrovat všechno do cloudu není reálné. Je to příliš drahé, příliš složité, nebo zakotvené v regulaci, která to neumožňuje.

Strategy

Bezpečnostní politiky platí v Azure, ale na on-prem serverech je nikdo nevymáhá. Audit odhalí díry, které existují roky, protože obě prostředí nikdo neřídil jednotně.

Modernization

Chcete nasadit Kubernetes a modernizovat aplikace, ale on-prem infrastruktura tomu nejde naproti. Vývojáři čekají na prostředí a každý deployment je risk.

Azure Arc

Does Azure Arc belong in your environment?

Makes sense if

You want unified governance

You need consistent governance and security policies that apply to every server without exception — regardless of where they run.

You have a hybrid world

You manage servers on-premises, in Azure and with other providers, and you are tired of switching between 5 different tools.

You have branches, remote locations or edge

IoT devices, industrial machines or remote servers: everything needs to be part of unified management, not handled separately.

Your support is ending

You need ESU (Extended Security Updates) for older Windows Servers or SQL without complex migrations.

Patching is a nightmare

You need centralised update management and unified reporting on patching status across the entire environment.

Different environment, different tool

You have multiple tools for managing different parts of your infrastructure and want to consolidate them — and possibly save money.

Does not make sense if

You are 100% in Azure

If your infrastructure does not leave Azure boundaries, Arc has no added value for you. Azure manages it natively.

You are just starting out

You are building directly in the cloud on a greenfield and have no on-premises legacy that needs to be connected.

You have a micro-environment

You have 3 servers and do not need compliance or centralised patching. The agent would just be unnecessary overhead.

Your environment must not communicate with the internet

If you operate a closed network for regulatory or security reasons, the standard Arc deployment will not work. Alternative architectures exist but require deeper analysis.

What do you get with Azure Arc?

Managed Services

Single pane of glass for all workloads

On-premises and Azure VMs managed identically: same tags, policies and reports from one place in real time.

Cloud Security

Security with no blind spots

Microsoft Defender for Cloud covers every server — on-premises and Azure — with the same security baseline and audit logs available at any time.

Support

End of manual patching

Azure Update Manager automatically places every server in the correct patching wave (production, testing, offices) without manual intervention.

Modernization

Kubernetes anywhere, without changing tools

Arc connects on-premises and multi-cloud Kubernetes clusters to Azure. GitOps, Policy and Defender work exactly the same as on AKS.

Time Management

Time for a planned migration instead of a crisis fix

Arc activates Extended Security Updates for end-of-support servers in pay-as-you-go mode. No compliance gap, no pressure.

Intelligence

Alert 30 days in advance, not an alarm at night

Predictive monitoring in Log Analytics detects capacity or performance issues before they become an incident.

How we work with our customers on Azure Arc implementation

1

Kick-off call

On the very first call we will tell you whether Azure Arc makes sense for your case. No dragging things out.

2

Environment analysis

In week one or two we map your infrastructure, security model and operational needs (we need read-only access from you). Output: exact scope, implementation cost, timeline and a recommendation on which servers to run the POC. No surprises.

3

POC implementation

In weeks two through four we jointly select the servers or environment on which we deploy Arc. We run the Proof of Concept and you see real results in production. Your team is involved from day one.

4

Next steps and waves

After the POC we define the next waves, scope and priorities together. We hand over documentation, train your team and stay by your side — whether as an operational partner or an advisor for further development.

What do you get by working with us?

01

Running POC in your environment

We do not set up a demo. Arc runs on your real servers: you see monitoring, patches and security policies from one place in the Azure Portal.

02

We are part of your team

Throughout the POC we act as an extension of your IT team. Together we configure, tune the monitoring baseline, prepare the configuration and environment for Arc. You are not in it alone.

03

Workshop for your team

After completing the POC we run a workshop where your team learns how to work with the environment. You leave with the know-how and a PDF documentation ready for archiving.

04

We define next steps together

At the closing meeting we go through the outputs and define priorities: which servers to onboard next, where the biggest benefit is and what makes sense to tackle next.

Bonus

We will help you obtain Microsoft funding

We will help you find out which programmes you qualify for and how to apply the funding correctly so that Arc costs you less than you expect.
