Cloud Operations Your Way....Let's You Progress 2x Faster!

Ever feel like finding the right model for Cloud Operations tends to put you in a position where you are deciding whether to overload on functionality (and cost) OR underwhelm on functionality to meet budget?   Don't worry... you are not alone.  Even Gartner agrees that many Managed Cloud models are immature and far less flexible than they should be.   That is where experience and focus comes in to play.  Organizations are looking for the ability to choose the level of day 2 operations their Managed Cloud partner provides, and with the right model this shouldn't be that difficult.  

2nd Watch offers three levels of Managed Cloud services through our Cloud Management Platform that we have found our many customers tend to find the most popular.  That said, there are plenty of our customers fall into some sort of hybrid of these models. 

What we then have found is that companies leveraging the the Managed Cloud Models we offer are growing their Public Cloud Usage by 192% compared to the companies that are not.   Why might that be happening?  Well, there are a few reasons we can point to:

• Keeping your team focused on the Innovation keeps the Innovation happening at a faster clip.
• When we are able to help customers Optimize their Public Cloud spend it allows them to reinvest in the technology.
• Organization have a greater sense of trust to move complicated, regulated, and heavy workloads to the cloud when with a trusted Managed Cloud Partner
• Automating, Monitoring, Securing, and Procuring Public Cloud Resources requires tools, and sophisticated customers prefer to let the experts manage those decisions now and in the future.

As specialists, we know “what you don’t know” or the “gotchas” that can take you years to learn, can slow you up, cost you money or worse – result in a security breach. This is all we do. We don’t unwrap bubble-wrapped SANs, move racks or worry about the AC running. We focus on automation and management so you can focus on business outcomes. In that, the system you use to manage the cloud has to be integrated into your operational management systems, but it must be a different system that knows and learns the cloud because the cloud is faster, stronger and more robust than what your old systems can manage.
