DataON MUST Pro keeps your integrated system
updated with cluster aware updating

DataON MUST Pro is a new extension exclusive to DataON integrated systems for Azure Stack HCI. It integrates with Microsoft’s cluster aware update (CAU) functionality to simplify deployment and updated to Azure Stack HCI, with minimal disruption to your hybrid cloud infrastructure. MUST Pro automatically compares your server nodes against the latest quarterly validated server component image baseline from Microsoft. It ensures that servers have the same OS version, drivers, firmware, BIOS, and BMC, and checks the drivers and firmware for network cards, host bus adapters, and SSD and HDD drives. With a single click, your entire cluster can be updated. CAU helps keep your system updated and secure against the latest server exploits.
