MSP for the Future

Another large difference within the cloud is having resources on demand. You can set up your servers to spin up more instances if there is a lot of consumption, like at peak times, and then just shut them off and not pay for them when they are not needed. Optimizing the use of those resources for cost is very specific to your cloud provider.

Are you providing added value?
Adding value isn’t just a nice to have anymore. Amongst the cloud-based ISVs, SaaS-focused reseller/referral partners and digital marketing agencies, augmenting what you offer is essential to build your position with your customers. Examples include:
Converged services.
Subscription-based pricing.
Landscape monitoring to anticipate issues and opportunities for customers.
Owned proprietary IP.
Proactive offers and discounts.
Partnership risk sharing.
XaaS as basis of business.
Industry and vertical expertise.
360-degree physical security.
Anticipation of the needs of their customers.
A line of business focus to support use of best practices.
Knowledgeable application support.
Business transformation services for customers.
Virtual CIO services.

Where I worked before, we would have technical refreshes with on-premises data centers, finding the best cost of new hardware that will be most reliable until new funds were allocated. Here in the cloud, we are determining if our instances can run smaller, configuring autoscaling groups for more efficiencies or discerning which style of deployment or cloud-provided utility will best fit our system needs at the lowest cost. As most cloud providers keep incorporating new features and changing prices, this can be very interesting and keep you on your toes!
