That’s where Managed Service hosting comes in. Web hosting providers take care of all details and even the minutest aspects of the managed services and enables their proactive management. Managed hosting services include different types of servers-dedicated servers, VPS, cloud servers and more.

Understanding the importance of managed services and the freedom that comes with them, more and more businesses are jumping on the bandwagon.

Managed services’ market is growing.

“The global managed-services market is predicted to grow to $193B by 2019, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.5%.” – CompTIA’s 4th Annual Trends in Managed Services report.

There are several indications that point your need for managed server hosting. A few important ones are as follows:

1. When your business needs increased reliability of the IT operations.

Every business needs technical experts, capable of handling company’s IT independently. But, if your business has over-burdened IT staff, comprising less trained employees who lack skills to troubleshoot and remediate various arising issues, then you certainly need managed services. The managed services provider’s technical support team can help you manage remote monitoring and management, security, compliance, backup, disaster recovery for all your managed services, including, your cloud services.

This increases reliability of your organization’s IT infrastructure and prevents your IT department from playing catch-up. Managed server hosting also gives you an access to the latest technology and business grade solutions -maintaining server uptime and profitability too.

2. When your business needs proactive and comprehensive approach to maintenance.

Proactive maintenance is the critical requirement of your business as it helps you detect vulnerabilities, irregularities that might cause serious disruptions later, thus effecting your business productivity.

When your server is managed proactively, then you do not have to think about its daily IT operations or make second-guesses about the reliability and speediness of the network connection.

Services like remote monitoring combined with the proactive disaster recovery solutions, security suite, encrypted backups, and more help in detecting potential disturbances and vulnerabilities, allowing you to resolve these problems before they develop into more critical threats.

3. When your business needs greater ROI/cost savings.

Cost control and reduction are necessary to increase ‘profits’- the focused aim of every business. Fully managed services deliver greater cost savings in comparison to self -managed/unmanaged hosting.

IT budget includes hardware costs, maintenance costs, software and network infrastructure costs, that makes adoption of latest technologies difficult. With tight budgets and limited expertise, internal IT departments find it difficult to upgrade. But MSPs offer almost all the latest technologies which reduce the burden of maintenance costs, including outdated hardware.

4. When you need your IT staff to work on strategic and higher value projects.

The expense of IT labor is at times the most volatile when you want to reduce your IT department size due to high staff payment costs. If your business lacks dedicated IT team and you force your employees to compensate by performing technical tasks, outside their core area of expertise, then it actually slows down the productivity and prevents the business to grow as IT employees can increase productivity by concentrating on those projects and assignments they’re best suited to tackle.

But, managed services business model enables easy predictability of costs on monthly basis, facilitates easy breakdown of ROI and saves your teams’ time which they can devote to higher value projects, thus helping you reach your business goals.

5. When your business needs highly resilient and secure infrastructure.

To keep your network clean of malware, viruses and other elements that put your data at risk is the most considerable factor in your needs for completely managed server.

With managed server hosting, you fortify your business with the latest security patches, regular updates, hardened server, network monitoring, backups, configuration and tuning of OS, spam filtering and disaster recovery plans.

Thus, if you aim at exceptional performance, you should choose fully managed hosting services.
