ARCON | Drift Management
Application Proliferation Augments Configuration Drifts
At a time when applications are proliferating in a typical IT (Information Technology) environment, due to cloud first and on-premises augmentation strategies, technology and IT operation leaders are increasingly worried about how to proactively eliminate threats that arise from application drifts.
When unauthorized application deviation arises because of variance between configuration and setting of DC (Data Centre) and DR (Disaster Recovery) including production environments, it leads to application downtime and subsequent financial losses.
With ARCON Drift Management, technology leaders can ensure that applications’ configurations are appropriately maintained which in turn helps to mitigating compliance failures, potential business disruptions and data breach threats.
Embracing The Best Practices for Resilient Digital Ecosystems
ARCON Drift Management can detect drifts across the entire stack of digital assets – disparate OSes, applications, application codes, firewall rules and policies, system configurations, cloud configurations, networks devices, databases and security fixes.
This way, the solution helps IT operations and technology leaders to preserve the desired state of all configuration controls by continuously comparing the current configuration of IT assets against the standard baseline policy, keeping the digital ecosystem resilient.
Prompt drift detections and remediations of deviations from baselines eliminates risks emanating from weak compliance posture and keeps IT operation teams audit ready. Additionally, the solution supports High Availability, ensuring business continuity.

License Policy for ARCON Drift
Licensing parameters are determined by the number and type of digital assets being onboarded. A digital asset refers to any identifiable IT resource such as a device, system, database, or service instance—including IaaS, PaaS, SaaS applications, or standalone applications. Each application or asset onboarded constitutes a measurable unit for licensing purposes.
Example:
|
Scenario
|
On Prem Licensing
|
Cloud-Based Licensing
|
|---|---|---|
|
Server / Instance
|
Physical server with Windows Server 2019
|
3 EC2 instances with Windows Server 2019
|
|
Web Hosting
|
Web Server / Middleware hosting 3 instances
|
Each EC2 instance runs 2 websites on a Web Server
|
|
Database
|
Database with 2 instances
|
1 RDS instance hosting a database with 3 schemas
|
|
Asset Calculation
|
OS = 1 Web Server / Middleware = 3 DB schemas = 2 Total = 6 assets |
EC2 instances = 3 IIS = 1 RDS = 1 Total = 5 assets |
|
Network Devices / Other Tech
|
Network / Security devices, etc. = 1 asset each
|
Cloud firewall, load balancer, storage volumes counted as 1 asset each (if applicable) |
