Azure Arc Envisioning and PoC Workshop
Cloud Migration & Modernization
Motivation
Hybrid is the norm for most organizations today. This can be driven by the latency requirements but is also often driven by the industry-specific regulations. Our customers often say they need a single pane of glass to see the health of all their infrastructure and applications. They also find it difficult to integrate on-premises policies and updates with their cloud infrastructure. This often results in separate teams with different skill sets and sometimes environment-specific development processes.
Customers are looking for consistent interoperability to unify development practices and accelerate innovation, regardless of where their applications run - on-premises, multi-cloud, hybrid or at the edge. And nearly all want to leverage AI or IoT to improve operations. For these cases, Azure Arc is the answer.
What we bring
20 years of experience with software architecture and custom software development projects for many of the world’s largest enterprises has generated the expertise needed for PRODYNA to help you design and develop applications in the Azure Cloud.
We are a Microsoft Solutions Partner for both Digital & App Innovation and Data & AI and are a member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), an open-source organization which maintains many of the innovative AI frameworks and projects used in data science projects today. With this offering we will assist you with:
- Understanding the features and capabilities of Azure Arc.
- Understanding the use-cases in which the Azure Arc services can be integrated.
- Demonstrating how the Azure Arc services can be integrated into your existing infrastructure to achieve quick wins.
- Understand how to integrate Azure Services to empower your workflows.
What you need
All you need are people interested in Azure Arc to bridge Azure hyperscale services into your existing and new workloads across public clouds, core enterprise systems in data centers and branch offices, and the operational edge.
This should be technical persons that know and understand your daily business on Infrastructure level. Persons from your security department or Developers are welcome, but not necessarily required.
- One use case* (or idea).
- 2 days of continuous time.
*An example of a use case could be using Azure Update Manager to manage and govern updates for all your machines. To do this, the machine or a defined set of machines are connected to Azure in the PoC. The next step is to enable Azure Update Manager and configure patch management.
What you get
PRODYNA will guide you and your employees through the following program:
Day 1 Introduction
(45 min)
Introduction from PRODYNA:

Day 1 Arc Service Architecture
(120 min)
In an open discussion, we will work with you to determine which Arc-enabled Azure services meet your needs, and which additional services could be added to provide more value.
Day 1 Requirements
(60 min)
The services might have different requirements to hardware, network or access level. We will summarize the specific requirements as preparation for the implementation.
Day 2 Implementation
Implementation of your use case as Proof of Concept.
Quick facts
