What exactly do managed cloud services constitute?
Cloud managed services, often referred to as "managed cloud," is a way for your business to outsource the management of your cloud resources and infrastructure to a third-party expert like us.
It means we take over partial or complete control of your cloud platform, ensuring that professionals can look after your IT, which you may not have had the resources to do before. The scope is wide and can include everything from setting up your cloud (deployment and migration) to continuous management and optimisation.
Key responsibilities include:
- 24/7 support: Having experts available around the clock.
- Maintenance & optimisation: Making sure your cloud is always up-to-date and cost-effective.
- Security: Implementing security, configuration, and compliance measures.
Partnering with a managed cloud service provider (MCSP) is a convenient way to eliminate the cost and effort of buying and maintaining your own servers and network infrastructure. Dynamic Business Technologies can handle the technical heavy lifting, including data backup, recovery, and infrastructure monitoring, so you can focus entirely on running your business. It's about simplifying the complex world of the cloud and leaving it to the experts.
How does it work?
The great part about managed cloud services is the simplicity: you don't need to worry about setting up, installing, or maintaining any software or hardware.
Your MCSP owns, operates, and maintains all the data centres and the physical infrastructure behind the scenes. We then make these powerful resources available to you via the cloud.
With Dynamic Business Technologies, clients access these services through a web browser or API by signing up for a simple subscription model. Our team handles everything else: making sure your resources are always available, keeping all systems up-to-date, and providing proactive support for performance monitoring and security. This simple model works whether you use a public cloud, private systems, or a hybrid environment (a mix of both).
Why do businesses opt for managed cloud services?
Businesses choose managed cloud services for clear reasons that directly boost their bottom line and reduce stress. Here are some of the major benefits:
Control costs with a subscription
One of the biggest wins is cost-effectiveness. With managed cloud, you only pay for the exact resources you use. This is much better than buying and maintaining your own expensive hardware, which might sit idle. This simple, subscription model makes budgeting easier and gives you control over your IT spending.
Scalability and flexibility
Need to grow quickly or handle a sudden peak in demand? Managed cloud enables you to deploy additional resources without delay. You can quickly and easily scale resources up or down based on your changing business requirements, all without the expense and downtime of purchasing new infrastructure.
Advanced security and reliability
Managed cloud providers prioritise security by using reliable controls, ongoing monitoring, and adherence to relevant compliance standards. We also include built-in redundancy so that if one component stops working, a backup takes over, helping ensure steady access to your cloud resources at all times.
Customised and expert service
Whether you need a simple setup or a mix of environments (hybrid or multi-cloud), MCSPs help you determine the services that best fit your unique workloads. We bring the expertise to configure, manage, and optimise your cloud perfectly so you don't have to worry about the technical details.
