Transcript of MSPs: Give customers the cloud (without letting them float away)
For MSPs, this expectation introduces competition:
public cloud services, such as AWS, Azure and Google.
The MSP business model thrives when providers add features, solutions and
expertise, while also delivering the consumption models customers expect in today’s hybrid world.
But according to RightScale’s “2017 State of the Cloud Report,” public cloud adoption
is soaring – while “adoption of private cloud is flattening across all providers.”
Deceptively low public cloud fees don’t
reflect data migration costs, egress fees
the expense of IT management of yet
another infrastructure footprint.
Public clouds can’t be customized.While MSPs and enterprises
negotiate, public cloud services let customers pay for what they get.
Historically, private clouds were built with OpenStack or CloudStack. Today’s object storage clouds are scalable, cost-effective
and powered by commodity hardware.
For MSP customers, object storage clouds make private cloud a strong alternative
to the public cloud and simplify data storage, cut costs, guarantee security and leave plenty of room for added services.
Do your customers need backup and DR services? Are they setting up for long-term
hybrid cloud strategies? No problem.
Private cloud isn’t going anywhere. With object storage clouds, customers
get a managed hosting experience
with the on-demand capabilities
and cost of a public cloud.
