IT systems downtimes are a nightmare for small businesses because those businesses usually lack expert knowledge and IT specialists necessary to rectify the problem right away. Outsourcing these tasks to a provider of Managed IT Services is an attractive solution for many business leaders. The subscription-based, Managed IT Services model allows you to assign such challenging and business-critical activities to devoted IT professionals. Managed IT Services professionals work both on-premises and remotely, which enables you to have your hardware and software properly configured on-site while disaster recovery and downtime prevention can be performed remotely.
Managed IT Services is an entire array of IT care services that are combined to give a business proactive, comprehensive IT management, maintenance, security, and operational monitoring. The services most often combined into a Managed IT Services package include:
Businesses depend on IT systems for productivity. Systems outages and downtime cost you time and money. Employees can’t perform their daily tasks, customers cannot reach you, and your business is negatively impacted.

Your IT systems, including network and servers, rank as your business-critical assets.

Setting up, configuring, and maintaining complex server and network infrastructures – on-site or in the cloud – is a daunting task for most small and medium-sized businesses. You can install certain software apps to automate maintenance tasks, but the proper setup of server architectures should be assigned to dedicated IT specialists. An IT professional will help you establish proper load balancing – a factor in keeping business systems and websites up and running.
