With Commvault’s efficient backup processes, scalability, and increased security, switching to this enterprise cloud backup solution offers many advantages. While Commvault is very robust, using this tool can also result in enterprise IT staff being tied up in its complexity and required maintenance. Many CIOs have found that there are significant benefits of using a Commvault managed service provider (MSP) to simplify the internal data management of their systems.
You might be thinking, “Why do I need a managed service provider when my internal IT team already has IT proficiency and knowledge?” Hiring an MSP does not replace your internal IT team. Instead, it helps augment your existing staff to help you manage your platform so that your IT employees can focus on projects more meaningful to the growth of your business. Backup and recovery systems have become more complex with the demands of continuously growing data, but partnering with an MSP for your Commvault backup environment can help you simplify your maintenance tasks. Although your IT team may be generally talented, your company will benefit from an MSP with Commvault certified engineers that can help troubleshoot backup and recovery issues more quickly and effectively.
Meridian’s skilled engineers act as an extension of your IT team to provide reliable and consistent remote monitoring and management of your Commvault ecosystem. Below, we have put together a list of the benefits of working with an MSP for your Commvault backup environment.
1. Increased Flexibility
We know your goal is to achieve IT resilience with high availability for your servers, VMs, and databases without the additional headaches of constant monitoring. By using an outside provider, you benefit from the freedom to focus on your core business. An MSP alleviates the pressure of maintaining and upgrading your systems, while providing peace of mind knowing that your systems are in good hands.
With software updates, frequent optimization, and monitoring handled by the experts at Meridian, your IT team can focus on supporting your value-added core competencies. It can take months for your internal staff to deploy and maintain your cloud infrastructure. With Meridian IT’s enterprise cloud backup support, your unique needs are satisfied and KPIs met while reducing your total cost of ownership.
2. Better Return on Investment
It can be costly for internal IT resources to focus on maintenance when they could be focusing on more strategic projects. Managing your Commvault backup environment in house can be challenging and frustrating; leveraging a third-party service provider to handle the management and administration of your Commvault environment can alleviate those frustrations while lowering costs. A haphazard Commvault backup strategy can produce inefficiencies and increase the time spent on maintenance.
Commvault license costs can be high, but working with an MSP may give you access to reduced license costs or flexible payment terms. For example, Meridian’s exclusive pay-as-you-go licensing model can help you save up to 50% on your Commvault backup costs. With an MSP, you are given a chance to better plan and budget for larger IT projects that will help grow your business.
3. Improved Recovery Times
