Network management MSP
Businesses operating in the IT landscape rely on their networks. But networks are complex and predisposed to constant evolution, and technological advancements only seem to increase their convolution. Modern-day networks house a deluge of physical and virtual components, employ advanced technologies, and are distributed across geographies, making them incredibly difficult to manage.
However, if not properly addressed, IT infrastructure management can impact a business on multiple fronts. Unfortunately, not all businesses possess enough resources, the necessary technical know-how, or a dedicated IT operations team to manage their networks. The only viable solution in sight for such businesses is managed service providers (MSPs).
Being an MSP offering network management services, you need a network management tool that provides a broad spectrum of functionalities. The right tool can help you manage physical, virtual, and hybrid networks, support devices from multiple vendors, and get complete visibility over distributed networks
The benefits of deploying network management software
- Proactively monitor your clients’ networks for faults. This helps you defuse issues before they blow out of proportion and lead to network downtime.
- Meet your SLAs on time to avoid penalties.
- Ease your technicians’ workload and provide enough scope for automation.
- Reduce your mean time to repair by quickly narrowing down the root cause of the problem and following with immediate troubleshooting.

What are managed IT services?
The managed services model is the process of proactively outsourcing business processes to reduce the costs of maintaining a process in-house. Managed IT services is the outsourcing of your company’s information technology management and maintenance to an external provider. In the most simple terms, it’s paying another company to look after the IT matters in your business.
What is the difference between managed IT services and outsourcing?
The two terms are often taken to mean the same thing; indeed, both models are closely related to each other with one marked difference between the two. In this case, outsourcing means sourcing service or a product from a third party without them managing the supplied solution on your behalf. In this instance, you may need to hire and maintain a team of in-house professionals to look after everything. Conversely, in managed services, the third party both supplies and operates the service – there is no need for an in-house team.
