FAQs - Managed Cloud Services
What is Managed Cloud Services?
Managed Cloud Services refers to the outsourcing of the maintenance and management activities of your Cloud infrastructure to a reliable partner. This includes tasks such as system updates, data backups, automation, monitoring, and identifying cost, security and performance efficiencies.
The Managed Cloud Service partner offers their deep expertise and comprehensive knowledge to oversee cloud environments, ensuring that your infrastructure always stays secure, optimised, and compliant with industry standards. This enables organisations to focus on innovation and drive their business forward without worrying about maintaining in-house cloud management expertise.
When do I use Managed Cloud Services?
Managed cloud services can be used if you are looking for expert resources to manage your cloud platform and streamline operations, optimise performance, security and costs. This allows your internal IT team to focus on strategic activities rather than Cloud management tasks. These services offer flexibility, allowing you to outsource with as much or as little involvement as you want.
What are the benefits of a Managed Cloud Service?
Managed Cloud Services offers expert management of your cloud infrastructure by certified professionals, ensuring optimum performance and availability.
At ANS, unlike other partners, we will proactively work with you to manage and optimise your cloud environment together, be it Azure, AWS or our ANS’ eCloud VPC. ANS Managed Cloud Services gives you four main benefits:
- Expert access: ANS’s cloud experts provide technical support, design guidance, and architecture validation to make the right decisions on your cloud platform.
- Technical operations: Get improved insights on how your cloud resources perform with real-time and historical data and predictive analytics.
- Financial insights: Our billing insights and budget allocation reports give you control of your cloud costs, assess resource utilisation, and make informed decisions.
- Security and governance: We’ll continuously monitor your cloud platform to ensure it’s configured to the latest best practices and has the most up-to-date security measures in place.
What is the difference between managed and unmanaged cloud services?
Managed cloud services offer comprehensive management of cloud infrastructure by an expert partner, including maintenance, security, and support, freeing businesses from technical burdens.
Unmanaged cloud services, on the other hand, require businesses to self-manage their cloud infrastructure, which demands technical know-how and dedicated IT resources, which can often be costly. The choice between these services depends on a company’s capacity to handle IT operations, its budget and its preference for control.
What should I look for in a managed cloud service provider?
What challenges can ANS help address with our managed cloud services?
Some of the common challenges we can help you with:
• We need to control costs across our environment but we’re struggling to recruit or maintain a team with the right skillset.
• Our skills in cloud aren’t strong enough – we need people who understand multiple areas of technology to help bind it all together into a seamless supported solution.
• Our business requires 24x7x365 service level, but how can we achieve this without our own follow the sun support?
• We have the internal teams and skills but want to offload them of remedial tasks and day to day operations so they can focus on higher value activities.
• I want my developers to be able to innovate but have concerns around the governance of the environment.
• How do we govern change and advisory for our cloud platform policy?
• I need a partner to develop a bespoke digital product and deliver it back to me under a SaaS model with SLAs around the service.
