Azure ARC
Acuutech Enabled Services
Faced with an ever-growing sprawl of resources spread across multiple datacentres, clouds and edge locations, more businesses are looking for a way to inventorise, organise and govern their IT resources from a central location. Azure Arc can help.
What is Azure Arc?
Azure Arc addresses this growing problem, delivering a set of innovative technologies that enables Azure services to run across on-premise, multi-cloud and edge. This extends Azure services and management to any infrastructure, accelerating innovation across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Azure Arc is a software solution that enables you to project your on-premises and multi-cloud resources into Azure Resource Manager. You can project these resources into your Azure subscription for inventory, policy, monitoring and security governance as if they did reside in Azure public cloud, providing a single common control plane for your Azure and on-premise workloads.
What are the benefits?
Simplify management
Speed-up app development and ensure consistent Azure services.
Standardise visibility
Operations and compliance across a wide range of resources and locations.
Build cloud-native apps
That run anywhere and at any scale.
Get Azure innovation
Cloud benefits by deploying Azure data services on any infrastructure, and securely build and train machine learning models anywhere.
Delegate access
Manage security policies for resources using role-based access control (RBAC) and Azure Lighthouse.
Organise and inventorise assets
Through a variety of Azure scopes, such as management groups, subscriptions, resource groups and tags.
