Managed Service Providers in 2022
Do Managed Service Providers deliver value post migration to the public cloud?
If you need to migrate 10,000 workloads to the public cloud, chances are you are going to engage one of the big managed IT, service providers. They understand move groups, dependency discovery, network requirements and have experience getting that homegrown app working in the public cloud. However, what happens when you have migrated?
Do Managed Service Providers (MSP) provide value in modern IT services. MSP isn’t managing hardware, racking and stacking, or babysitting the virtualization stack. That job belongs to the Cloud Service Provider (CSP). Whenever we’ve met with an MSP offering public cloud managed services, I’ve walked away underwhelmed. The primary issue is the lack of value-added vs. the friction created between my staff and the CSP.
