Unlock New Opportunities with Azure Arc for SPLA Partners

Save Costs and Enhance SQL Estate Management with Azure Arc

Azure Arc empowers SPLA partners to manage SQL licenses through Azure CSP, presenting a flexible, cost-effective solution. The Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) model provides significant savings, as you pay only for what you use. This model delivers better cost efficiency, allowing partners to maximize profitability while optimizing resource usage.

Key SQL Benefits of Azure Arc

1. Centralized SQL Management
   • With Azure Arc, SPLA partners can centrally manage their entire SQL estate. This offers enhanced visibility, control, and governance over SQL Server instances, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and security.
2. Enhanced Security with Azure Defender
   • Azure Arc integrates with Microsoft Defender for Cloud, ensuring your SQL Server environments are secure, no matter where they are deployed. This robust integration safeguards your data against emerging threats and vulnerabilities.
3. Flexible Billing for Cost Optimization
   • Azure Arc’s PAYG model offers flexible billing, letting you scale down or pause SQL Server instances during off-peak times. This flexibility allows partners to optimize costs, increase operational efficiency, and improve bottom-line profitability.
4. Extended Security Updates (ESU)
   • Azure Arc offers extended security updates for SQL Server, even after official support has ended. This ensures your servers remain protected, providing additional peace of mind for businesses that are not ready to upgrade to newer versions of SQL Server.

Increase Profitability with Azure Arc-Enabled SQL Server

SPLA partners can enjoy significant savings, as the price difference between SPLA partner net and CSP partner net is about 22%. Additionally, partners holding a Microsoft Solution Designation can earn up to 30% CSP incentives, further boosting profitability and providing financial rewards for their Azure Arc adoption.

Conclusion

Azure Arc offers SPLA partners a unique opportunity to streamline SQL estate management, improve security, and achieve remarkable cost savings. By embracing Azure Arc, you’ll stay ahead of the competition, creating new opportunities for growth and profitability.
