With a Managed Services Strategy, Businesses Move Beyond the Legacy Infrastructure
Posted: Aug 19, 2016
Many companies run on different applications—it is this particularly unique set of apps requiring a bespoke profile pertaining to the businesses’ respective infrastructures. However, because most businesses are still attached to a set of traditional approaches, they’re becoming increasingly irrelevant today.
Businesses, today, are often asked by their shareholders, customers, and even employees to perform better and to do a lot more with a lot less. And all this has to be done while strictly maintaining the highest standards while rendering services or offering products.
The technology trends change within the blink of an eye; and such a change easily alters the way businesses are investing in their IT strategies. These days, companies are heavily relying on data centers so that they embrace such emerging technologies quickly. However, relying on such data center hardware can even sometimes make the business’s budget go haywire.
Gartner reported that the data center hardware spending would easily surpass USD 126.2 billion in circa 2015 worldwide; and as the storage would certainly be the key driver of growth, it would be hardly surprising that its prices would go higher in the coming time.
Here, the managed service providers come into play
After removing all the constraints that come with a traditional infrastructure, the business can start itself in no time and can scale on demand. For example, Facebook and Google are web giants managing their hyper-converged infrastructures to create the flexibility that is demanded. So as the prices of investments in new technologies rise, decision-makers are consistently making a beeline for a managed services provider for leveraging managed Cloud solutions and server colocations.
These days, more and more companies leverage a colocation center for eliminating a long-term maintenance plan that is associated with owing and building data centers and for saving time. By using a colocation center, the business will indeed get access to interconnected infrastructures and will even deploy fresh levels of security and network flexibility. By having access to such fresh levels, the business can easily make its services a really viable alternative.
With colocation centers, it becomes simpler, quicker, and more efficient to partner with any third-party network support provider. This partnership will let a business to experience the goodness of all the state-of-the-art technological and network facilities. That is, the business will not be required to own a networking machine or IT equipment; and that means it will even bypass the maintenance headaches that come with owing a personal data center. (A lot of costly IT machines are needed to power, cool, and maintain such data centers.)
So by using Cloud-based as well as IT network solutions, by adopting a range of variable delivery models, and by having a full-fledged managed service strategy, any business can easily bring down the need to invest in costly hardware equipment. Rather, the business, during this time, can channelize its saved resources toward high-end innovation.
