How MSPs Can Gain a Competitive Advantage in an Accelerating Multi-Cloud World
A lot has changed in the last 2 years.
Your customers have accelerated their pace of cloud adoption. Migration projects that were previously intended to take place over years now have in mere months.
The hybrid work model as a new normal has your customers demanding more cloud flexibility than ever before. They want the convenience of being able to shop, compare and select the services that best fit their needs and budget, without having to engage multiple service providers to do so.
We are very much in the age of “Bring Your Own Cloud.”
Long before the pandemic, managed and cloud service providers needed a platform that could support multi-cloud monetization for public, private and hybrid clouds. That’s why our team decided, years ago, to build on HyAlto’s VMware pedigree and become this single point of management with a purpose-built, multi-tenanted platform.
The next big step in our roadmap is to add support for the marquee public cloud providers – AWS, Azure, Google.
But we need your help to get it right. That’s why we have launched our new HyAlto Early Access Program.
Agile automation: Why it matters for an MSP
Throughout the pandemic, MSPs have told us how much they need to become more agile and drive efficiency through automation. Outdated manual workflows leave them at risk of drowning in the complexities of delivering and managing the multi-cloud experience their customers expect. A lack of automation can also push them to the sidelines, unable to keep pace with the market, at risk of becoming irrelevant.
The complexities of a multi-cloud environment begin with the simple workflow logistics of accurate, real-time usage monitoring, to help the enterprise customer avoid cloud sprawl and costs run amok, and to ensure that the MSP has the granular data to bill properly at month-end. From there, it extends to all the details around managing licensing, security, admin rights and access control and meeting audit and compliance requirements.
The new platform features we plan to roll out this fall will provide service providers with a single, agile point of management to address these challenges for public, private and hybrid cloud environments over time.
