Managed cloud services refers to outsourcing daily IT management for cloud-based services and technical support to automate and enhance your business operations.
Generally, internal IT departments don’t possess the skills to effectively monitor and maintain a cloud environment. In these situations, a company hires a third-party cloud managed services provider to manage cloud security, computing, storage, network operations, application stacks, vendors and more.
Depending on your IT needs, cloud MSPs can also handle monitoring and reporting, performance testing, backup and recovery and more. With fixed monthly pricing, hiring a cloud managed services provider is often less expensive than an in-house team.
