That’s why more and more fast scaling businesses are signing up with cloud-managed IT, service providers. According to a report on managed cloud services, the cloud-computing services market size is projected to grow from $27.15 billion in 2017 to $53.78 billion by 2022, at an expected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14.6%
10 Reasons You Need a Managed Service Provider
Tell me I'm wrong.
1. Cost savings
A managed service provider is solely responsible for managing cloud infrastructure for clients. So when you hire services of a managed service provider, you only pay for what you use and when you use it. The service provider already has the set of tools required to set up infrastructure on the cloud and the workforce required to maintain pricing. This way you reduce operational costs for employees, lower IT expenses, and also conserve capital budget so you can concentrate on business strategy and customer satisfaction rather than spending the time of planning infrastructure handling.
2. Robust Infrastructure
Sharing the network management responsibility helps you offload not just expenses but also a ton of infrastructure responsibilities, which further leads to more cost savings. This gives businesses more room to diversify and be agile.
Additionally, managed cloud service providers provide 24/7 infrastructure management services to keep the network infrastructure in a robust state throughout. This makes it easy to monitor and scan for security aspects as per the standards, to ensure that infrastructure is reliable and functioning at an optimal level. Integrating existing business practices into the cloud infrastructure is a complex task made simple by MSPs, in a manner that they coincide with your enterprise goals and faster Go-To-Market strategy.
3. Simplification of Complex Processes
A trusted managed service provider has all the processes, infrastructure and manpower in place to handle the most complex of problems on a daily basis. As experts in the field, they focus on every single aspect while having contingency plans for the possible challenges that may lie ahead.
4. Disaster Management and Data Recovery
For the enterprises that have their IT infrastructure on-premise, a disaster or a critical server failure may leave them in a mess that may adversely affect their day-to-day business operations. They risk losing data that is vital to their business processes and overall growth. Now keeping data recovery processes and tools operational all year round is another overhead that your business will end up taking.
Even in the event of a host failure, you have stand-by cloud servers to fall back upon, and because everything is up there on a virtual platform, hardware failure risks are almost eliminated. This is one of the biggest reasons in the list of why to use managed services on the cloud.
5. Automatic Upgrades
On-premise servers are a huge cost burden for enterprises. Maintenance and security costs are a fixed expenditure that organizations need to spend for servers to remain functional.
An MSP – managed service provider lends you with the flexibility and scalability to adapt and evolve by enabling customizations to the existing services or introducing new processes/tools to the existing milieu. All without disturbing your current business processes.
6. Better Response Time
Managed cloud service providers offer constant enterprise-level monitoring and scrutiny, thus not just helping prevent a problem from growing, but also detecting deviations that might otherwise pose security threats and compliance issues
7. Easy Access to a Contingent Workforce
MSPs give a major boost to the contingent workforce program, thus ensuring you have access to the right and certified talent at the right time. These right skills in a worker are a mixture of certifications and experience. A managed service provider with a positive reputation in the market has this talent either in-house or has direct and quick access to a variety of skills that it can deploy for your projects.
8. Round the Clock Management
To ensure smooth operations for any Cloud infrastructure, you need 24/7 supervision. Your agreement with the MSP can dictate that they scan and monitor the infrastructure at all times and take care of different requirements, such as the application of required patches along with compliance and security audits.
9. Focus on Core Business
Experts provide 24/7 support, keeping a check on the smooth functioning of all your IT systems hosted on the cloud. You never will have to worry about infrastructure or network failure with proactive professionals deployed on the cloud front. Updates and maintenance can be handled from anywhere, with sufficient protection against outages. So you can relax and totally focus on what’s the core of your business.
10. Centralized Network
A managed service provider (MSP) uses a central data center within the cloud solutions network for managing all servers and applications deployed on them. This gives remote network users easy access to the centralized data on the network. In addition, the cloud enables you to have storage and backup reside on the centralized network, as well. This goes a long way when it comes to enhancing your infrastructure availability.
But in the end, it all comes down to choosing the right managed service provider for your business goals.
