In the past ten years, the cloud services industry has grown significantly because of its increased capabilities and awareness of its benefits. More and more companies are adopting the cloud as the foundation for network infrastructure and transitioning from the physical network infrastructure. Newly developed native cloud applications are constantly being developed and implemented, bringing additional advantages. In addition, solutions allowing legacy applications to be cloud compatible are also being introduced.

You may have been considering transitioning your company’s network to the cloud to take advantage of technological benefits. However, your team may not have the expertise to properly integrate your business processes with these cloud applications and services. Thus, you must work with an MSP (managed service provider) that is an expert in cloud services.

Your MSP will be responsible for the remote management of your company’s cloud infrastructure. This arrangement allows you to focus on the core of your business. The following will discuss the seven benefits you can receive from using an MSP to manage your cloud infrastructure.

1) Automated Upgrades

Cloud technology is constantly evolving, and your network infrastructure can become obsolete over time without updates and upgrades. Due to rapid innovation, it is difficult to stay current regarding cloud technology. Fortunately, your MSP will have this responsibility and will recommend the new solutions that should be implemented.

2) Centralization of Control

Working wins an MSP who will manage and support your organization’s cloud infrastructure will help ensure its controls will be centralized in a single location. Centralization of management will make network administration and support simpler. All required changes and upgrades to your company’s network will be easier to perform.

Part 2 will discuss more top benefits of managed cloud services.
