Many companies are turning to managed services as a way to take the load off when it comes to maintaining their network. Whether your company is just starting out or you\u2019ve been around for some time, it\u2019s never too late to start thinking about a managed service. Because most businesses rely on technology to function, it\u2019s important to have IT support always on call. But, with so many types of managed services out there, how can you choose the one that\u2019s best for you?<\/em><\/p>\n

Basic Managed Services<\/strong>
\nIf you run a small business and you don\u2019t have too much traffic, then you can do without all the bells and whistles when it comes to your managed service. If you just want an expert to keep an eye on things for you without spending too much of your budget, then a basic service might be right for you. Generally, this will start you off with a single dedicated server or single colocation server. While these servers are somewhat similar, a single dedicated server is usually owned by the host, whereas a single colocation server is when your company owns or leases a space in a data center.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, your managed service provider will also help you with connecting your hardware and monitoring your network. They\u2019ll provide you with information about how much bandwidth you\u2019re using, and assist you if your network ever shuts down. Typically, a basic managed service also provides on-demand support if and when you need it.<\/p>\n

Enterprise\/Business Managed Services<\/strong>
\nIf a basic service is a little too \u201cbasic\u201d for you, then you\u2019re going to need to pay a little more for what you need. An enterprise or business service takes it beyond the single server or single colocation server. Instead, most managed service providers give users access to a multiple server farm. This would allow you to have more ports monitored on your network, as well as added security. A managed service like this tends to have longer contracts, but you\u2019ll get a lot more for your money.<\/p>\n

If you run a business where you have a lot of traffic, a managed service like this will keep tabs on everything for you, and only contact you, the customer, as a last resort.<\/p>\n

Customizable Managed Services<\/strong>
\nMaybe you\u2019re not big nor small...you need something that\u2019s \u201cjustttt right.\u201d <\/em>If you don\u2019t fit into a specific plan, then you might need to \u201cdesign\u201d the managed service that\u2019s right for you. Many providers have plans like this, where you can customize the service level based on your needs. Perhaps you need a professional to maintain your network while you\u2019re on vacation, so they\u2019ll be able to access your system remotely.\u00a0 Or, maybe you require a proactive means of securing your network by having a provider that takes care of your servers located worldwide.<\/p>\n

A customizable or unique type of managed service helps ensure your infrastructure performs at full capacity, and you can rely on that service to be there for you even while you\u2019ll sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
