SnaPatch

SnaPatch is a patching tool that connects to both Microsoft SCCM and VMware. By linking the two platforms it reduces the risk that normally comes with patching and updating servers.

What SnaPatch offers

• Snapshot before patching — takes a snapshot of each virtual server before any patch is deployed, so a failed update can be reversed.
• SCCM integration — reads from the SCCM SQL database to pull in large amounts of information about the environment.
• Environment overview — uses that data to give an up-to-date picture of the estate.
• VMware integration — works with the virtual machine layer directly rather than treating servers as separate machines.

Who it works with

It suits IT teams that already use SCCM to deploy Windows updates and run their servers on VMware.
