WSUS is also known as Windows Server Update Services, and its first version is called Server Update Services (SUS). It helps distribute updates, fixes, and other types of releases available from Microsoft Update. You can use WSUS to reliably and securely manage, distribute, and install updates for Microsoft products in an organization's IT network. Some of the product examples include Windows Defender, Windows 10, and Office. How does WSUS work? WSUS works as a Windows Server role. You can deploy one or more WSUS servers depending on the number of client machines—including server machines whose updates you want to manage through WSUS—and other technical considerations in your organization’s IT network. If you deploy more than one WSUS server, you can decide to connect one or more WSUS servers to Microsoft Update. The servers connected to Microsoft Update can act as an update source for the other WSUS servers in the IT network. The WSUS servers that provide updates to other WSUS servers are called upstream servers. You can limit the number of upstream servers to one since one WSUS server can synchronize all other WSUS servers. This approach also helps limit the number of WSUS servers exposed to the internet. However, if many downstream servers try to synchronize from an upstream server simultaneously, it can create intranet bandwidth and performance issues. Therefore, you should optimize the synchronization process for efficient performance. You can deploy multiple WSUS servers as needed in multi-tier hierarchies to distribute updates more effectively to client machines located across various geo-locations. If you also manage mobile devices that join and leave your organization’s IT network infrequently, you can allow them to get updates from the nearest WSUS server. Once you have finalized the architecture and set up the upstream and downstream servers, you should allow and connect client machines to get updates from WSUS servers. Accordingly, whenever updates are available, you can review and test those updates and then distribute them to specific client machines. You can also define groups to manage client machines categorically and distribute updates based on group policies. What are WSUS Server modes? You can deploy WSUS servers in two different modes: Autonomous Mode & Replica Mode
