White Paper: Managed Hosting Service Provider Guide To The Cloud
How a managed hosting service provider supports your cloud strategy
A managed hosting service provider runs your servers, security, and monitoring. That frees your IT team to focus on the business. This white paper shows how the cloud fits into that model. It speaks to two audiences, and both will find value in it.
Who should read this white paper
The first audience is businesses that want to add a managed services component to their portfolio. The other audience includes service providers that want to bring the cloud into their business. Both groups face the same question, which is how much of the infrastructure work should stay in house. If you know little about managed services or the cloud today, the paper starts with the basics.
What a managed hosting service provider takes off your plate
Running infrastructure in house takes time, because servers need patching, monitoring, and backups every day. A provider covers that work through services such as server monitoring, backup, and managed security. As a result, your team spends less time on maintenance. It can put that time into projects that grow the business. Handing off routine work also leaves more room for planning.
Why the cloud matters to managed services
The National Institute of Standards and Technology defines cloud computing as on demand access to shared computing resources. Because that model scales quickly, providers can match capacity to demand instead of buying hardware early. Demand rarely stays flat, so that flexibility helps both audiences. If you are weighing a move to managed services or the cloud, this paper is a useful place to start. Download it to see how it applies to your business.
