Eliminate late night weekend updating
DataON Solution Builder Extension (SBE) works with Microsoft cluster aware updating (CAU) to simplify lifecycle management, improve reliability, and ensure seamless orchestration of firmware, drivers, and diagnostics.
Updates can be applied as a full solution update with minimal disruption to your environment.


Comprehensive updates
DataON SBE packages include updates to:
- Firmware
- Drivers
- BIOS
- BMC (Baseboard Management Controller)
- Relevant software components
This all-in-one approach eliminates the need for separate vendor tools or manual interventions, reducing complexity and risk.
Streamlined and unified orchestration
Azure Update Manager orchestrates both Microsoft solution updates and DataON SBE updates in a unified, streamlined process. This ensures non-disruptive application across multi-node clusters, where workloads are intelligently moved and nodes updated sequentially—all while maintaining full control over timing and scheduling.


Tested and validated by DataON and Microsoft
Every DataON SBE package undergoes rigorous testing in DataON’s labs and is jointly validated with Microsoft to guarantee full compatibility, reliability, and optimal performance on Azure Local deployments.
Integration with Azure Local Health Service
DataON SBE extends Azure Local Health Service for hardware-specific validations and deeper pre-lifecycle checks (deployment, update, add/repair node, and more). This provides proactive monitoring, detailed diagnostics, and enhanced visibility into cluster health for faster issue resolution and maximized uptime.
