What Is Managed Cloud Hosting?
Managed cloud hosting refers to a service where the hosting provider takes care of all aspects of managing and maintaining the cloud infrastructure on behalf of the customer. Unlike other cloud services where customers are responsible for server setup, configuration, security, and maintenance, managed cloud hosting shifts these responsibilities to the provider. This allows businesses to focus on their core competencies while gaining the expertise and resources of the hosting provider.
Who Uses Managed Cloud Server Hosting?
Startups, small and medium-sized businesses, and enterprise clients are turning to managed cloud hosting solutions. For example, at Assembla, we cater to any number of software development teams, project managers, and enterprises that require reliable, scalable, and secure cloud hosting. To see for yourself how managed cloud server hosting has led to success, take a look at this case study showcasing some of our successful implementations.
The Benefits of a Fully Managed Cloud Hosting Platform
Time Savings
One of the most significant positive aspects of fully managed cloud hosting is the time savings it offers. By offloading server management tasks to the hosting provider, you can free up valuable resources that can be redirected toward core business activities. At Assembla, our DevOps engineers handle the infrastructure setup of our managed cloud hosting solutions, as well as maintenance, security updates, and backups—all so that you can just focus on development, collaboration, and innovation of your core product.
Responsiveness
Managed cloud hosting providers, such as Assembla, offer proactive monitoring and support for optimal performance and uptime. They employ dedicated teams of experts who can promptly address any issues or concerns that may arise. By having a responsive support system in place, businesses can minimize downtime and mitigate the impact of technical challenges, ultimately enhancing productivity and user satisfaction.
Storage
Fully managed cloud hosting services provide scalable storage options to accommodate the growing needs of businesses. With the flexibility to expand storage resources as required, organizations can easily adapt to changing data storage requirements without investing in additional hardware or facing downtime during upgrades. Our own managed cloud hosting offers ample storage capacity, allowing teams to store and manage their code repositories, project files, and other assets securely.
Global Deployment
Managed cloud hosting enables businesses to deploy their applications and services globally with ease. Hosting providers have data centers strategically located in various regions, which allows low-latency connections and optimal performance for users worldwide. Assembla’s managed cloud hosting also has a variety of global deployment options, which are designed to allow globally distributed software development teams to update or commit their working copy with minimal delay.
Security
Security is a top priority in the digital landscape, and fully managed cloud hosting services offer robust security measures to protect data and applications. Hosting providers implement industry-standard security protocols, data encryption, access controls, and regular security audits to safeguard against threats and vulnerabilities. Assembla’s managed cloud hosting prioritizes data security, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and providing peace of mind to businesses and their customers.
