Managed Cloud Services FAQs
What is managed cloud?
Managed cloud is the process of outsourcing the ongoing maintenance and security tasks of your cloud resources and infrastructure to an external third party. Cloud adoption gives you access to a public cloud provider’s infrastructure. However, the public cloud provider does not take responsibility for how you use that infrastructure. You are still responsible for securing, configuring and managing your cloud workloads and data. A managed cloud provider handles those tasks in the public cloud of your choice.
Cloud modernisation doesn’t stop at cloud migration. It goes beyond that to help you maximise the benefits you can derive from the cloud. It includes consultation on adopting cloud-native business software or establishing cloud-native development practices. It also goes through AI, AR/VR, machine learning and other technologies you can access from the cloud as a fully managed service. Reducing cloud costs and enhancing cloud security are also part of the equation.
Why is managed cloud important?
A move to the cloud brings many benefits like scalability, agility and technology on demand. However, it also creates a paradigm shift in IT management. On-prem infrastructure requires IT teams to manage all layers of their infrastructure. Shifting to the cloud reduces those layers and creates a dynamic environment with totally different management and optimisation challenges. It requires fresh thinking about your resources, options and cost benefits. Many organisations struggle even after cloud adoption because they lack the skillset and resources to operate effectively in the cloud.
That’s where the managed cloud comes in. It gives companies access to technologies and expertise to navigate the new paradigm. You get turn-key solutions customised for your specific use case and fully managed remotely. That means your IT team can focus on what it does best — grow your business.
