What are Managed Cloud Services? 

Managed Cloud Services (MCS) are professional services provided by specialized providers to help companies manage, optimize and secure their cloud infrastructures and applications. These services allow companies to focus on their core tasks while delegating the complexity of cloud management to external experts.

What is the core of managed cloud services?

The core of Managed Cloud Services (MCS) is that external service providers assume responsibility for the management and provision of cloud resources. These are:

Administration of the cloud infrastructure

Cloud infrastructure management includes the responsibility of MCS providers for the configuration, scaling and provisioning of cloud resources such as servers, storage and networks.

Monitoring and security

MCS providers continuously monitor the performance of the cloud, detect and respond to security threats and ensure that compliance guidelines for securing sensitive data are adhered to.

Automation and scaling

The automation and dynamic adaptation of resources by MCS accelerates processes and serves to increase efficiency and control costs in the cloud environment.

Data Management

Data management includes supporting providers with tasks such as data management, backup, recovery, migration, database management and analysis in the cloud.

Cost transparency

MCS providers offer detailed analytics and optimization services to give companies precise control and a better understanding of their cloud spend.

Customer support and advice

Companies benefit from comprehensive customer support and expert advice to help them make informed decisions and solve problems quickly.
