First, we would like to clarify what is business continuity. It is a plan by which a company or organization plans how to respond to any eventuality so that the interruption of their business is minimal. In that plan the processes that you need to put in place to ensure the least impact to a disaster.
On the other hand, we have the management of information, considered as one of the most valuable assets of an organization. It notes that the importance of this management is always closely linked to the availability of the same.
And when we talk about availability, we mean access to this information at any time, and to guarantee the integrity of it. For this reason, many aspects come into play as such as where such information is hosted, if there is a replica of it, or if the confidentiality and data integration is assured.
The fact that organizations pay increasing attention to these situations makes coexist different technology scenarios from the point of view of IT. Customized solutions mostly implemented at the customer with solutions that are mixed cloud model – pay per use with the benefits and guarantees of services.
Specifically, the managed services model provides businesses increasingly demanded features and services, such as:
- Flexibility
- Scalability
- Security
- Availability
It’s a natural evolution of the traditional IT organization to move more towards managed service models to reap the benefits of both technology and cost. From these trends, three key findings can be drawn:
- The proportion of resources allocated to traditional IT (good own infrastructure mode or outsourcing) will decline in the coming years. This is because companies need an agility that the traditional model cannot provide, and should look at certain external service providers.
- Cloud-based models, whether public or private, are preferred by businesses, due to the need for greater agility. Therefore, they will absorb the growth in the budget-tech enterprises.
- The private cloud model is the one that will attract larger budget in the coming years.
And in this scenario, MadeIT stands out as a technology partner capable of providing end to end solutions. For this, MadeIT relies on its infrastructure of data centers, on which deploys its cloud services, which can be integrated with data centers customers.
Thus, different cloud models can coexist, and business continuity solutions guaranteed to unforeseen incidents. Security, both physical and logical, is a transversal value to MadeIT that helps to ensure such continuity.
