Frequently Asked Questions

What are Azure Managed Services?

Azure Managed Services are professional services that handle the end-to-end management of your Microsoft Azure environment. This can include Azure migration and setup, handling workloads, cloud infrastructure, cyber security, disaster recovery, and optimisation among other aspects of the Azure cloud platform. It’s something you might make use of to streamline your IT operations and take away the burden of running the Azure platform for your business.

What’s a Managed Service Provider (MSP)?

An MSP is a company (like Synextra!) that manages a customer’s IT services for them. They often offer a range of services, including network, application, infrastructure, and security. They’ll enable businesses to reduce their IT costs and improve scalability.

In the context of Azure cloud environments, MSPs help companies move to the Azure cloud and then manage their infrastructure from that point. The MSP takes care of the technical work so businesses can focus their resources on their core work.

How does Synextra help with cloud migration?

Cloud migration is one of the most important things a world-class Azure expert MSP can do; getting companies off their legacy hardware and onto the cloud.

At Synextra, we plan and execute migrations big and small, moving your data, apps, SaaS connections and services to your shiny new Azure infrastructure. We strive to make this important part of your cloud lifecycle as seamless and stress-free as possible, so you’ll be up and running again with minimal downtime.

What does cloud optimisation involve?

Cloud optimisation is all about configuring your cloud platform and resources for maximum efficiency, scalability, and cost management.

A good cloud computing MSP will provide a balanced Azure environment that has all the performance your business needs, while maintaining strong cost savings. This might include scaling up or down the number of virtual machines you’re running depending on usage. Or it could involve setting permissions and policies to make things run as lean as possible.

How is cloud security managed?

Cloud security is an essential part of Microsoft Azure managed services. The best MSPs will make sure your environment is secure by managing identity and access management, configuring firewalls, and deploying malware protection. They’ll also provide the latest security patches for your devices, as well as offering real-time monitoring to identify any threats quickly. Planning and preparing for disaster recovery is also a key part of any cloud security setup.

With Synextra’s Secure+ tier, we integrate Azure Sentinel for top-notch log capturing and event correlation. We proactively review security alerts in just 30 minutes, without overloading you with alerts. We also scan all external web apps for vulnerabilities, and manage them effectively within an included time frame. There’ll also be a clear path towards a future SOC if you’re considering it. So you’ll have peace of mind knowing we’ve got your Azure estate covered on all things security.

Can you support a hybrid cloud setup?

Absolutely! Whether your setup involves only Azure resources on the public cloud, or is a multi-cloud or hybrid cloud (a mix of on-premises and cloud), we can support you.

What’s the cost of Azure Managed Services?

Pricing for cloud managed services is almost always bespoke, as it depends on the size of your existing infrastructure, the scope of your desired setup, and other variable factors. It’s best to get in touch with us to find out what your estimated costs might be.
