Comprehensive, Effective Management of Your Cloud Technologies

Has your organization recently begun to shift more of your operations to the cloud? More than half of IT decision makers have reported spending significantly more on cloud services than planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic.1 The key to making the most of these new services is effective management. To address this challenge, organizations choose different ways to manage their cloud infrastructure. Some manage it themselves, and some bring in a cloud Managed Services Provider (MSP) to ease their immediate complexities, while others choose to have an MSP who can handle a broader mission with clear vision on managing hybrid environments and resources. Whatever the case, the aim is to find a right fit for effective cloud management.

Connection Managed Cloud Services help your organization avoid:

Rise of operational risks

Any strategy you choose has to work on your existing cloud operations. If there are gaps in your strategy, they could lead to operational risks in your current processes and halt the functioning of revenue-generating models, such as sales and supply chain.
Rise of security risks
Rise of security risks
Applications running on public cloud are more vulnerable to cloud security risks. Considering this fact, it is important to have the right security strategy in place.
Decrease in service value

With our expertise, we can fill any technology and management gaps, as well as provide flexible payment models, so you can focus on what really matters—supporting your users and growing your organization.

What Are the Benefits of Managed Services?

Benefits of Managed Services

Robust Infrastructure

Cloud Managed Services offer round-the-clock management. We monitor, scan, report, update patches, integrate, and align network operations with your core organization objectives.

Centralized Services and Applications

We manage applications and services at a centralized data center, which expands the scope for remote data access, increased productivity, and effective instance utilization.

Service Level Agreements

Under effective Service Level Agreements (SLAs), Cloud MSPs ensure better control across service levels and help your organization gain service continuity. Longer association with MSPs offers better results.

Data Safety and Recovery

Cloud managed services ensure data safety through timely backups and earlier access via faster recovery across all cloud services and applications.

Quick Response Time

Addressing an issue locally is different from doing so remotely over the network. In case of cloud managed services, the responsibility lies with service providers in ensuring quick response times in case of any issue. This can take more time if done locally.

Interfacing

We are your single point of contact when you need to work with cloud vendors in case of any critical issues. We can also make recommendations on ways to optimize costs and automate critical processes.

Planned Investment

With our support, you can easily plan your expenditure on IT services. Create a monthly service plan tailored for your organizational IT spending and optimize your investment on IT support.

Maintenance

With Connection as your MSP, you’ll have more options to realize cloud savings, and your organization will no longer have to spend on costly network maintenance.

Timely Updates

Depending on an in-house IT team for regular technology and software upgrades often consumes time, training, and additional resources. Depending on a cloud MSP to keep your data centers up to date means your infrastructure receives technology updates as soon as possible.

Integrated Services

We offer flexible solutions that can match your organization requirements. From pay-per-usage or payment plans that help you prioritize your organization spending to converged solutions such as security protection, setting up of a new service, and network monitoring, we can create the right solution for your organization.
