MSP Solution Journey
From Customer Growth to Scalable Infrastructure
See how an MSP expanded its service capability by combining cloud, storage, backup and networking around changing customer requirements.
The Brief
A growing MSP needed to support more customers, broader workloads and new managed services without continually expanding its own underlying infrastructure. The goal was to create a platform that could support different customer requirements while keeping the MSP focused on service delivery.

FAQ's
What is the best cloud infrastructure for MSPs?
The best cloud infrastructure for MSPs is one that offers scalability, predictable pricing, white-label options, and high availability. Look for platforms that allow full control without requiring deep technical overhead or major capital investment.
How can MSPs migrate clients to a new cloud provider without downtime?
MSPs can minimise or eliminate downtime by using managed migration services, leveraging snapshot-based replication, and scheduling cutovers during off-peak hours. Planning, testing, and phased migration are key strategies.
How do MSPs ensure high availability for client workloads?
High availability is achieved through redundant infrastructure, load balancing, geographically separate data centres, and automated failover systems. Using enterprise-grade platforms with built-in continuity features is essential.
How can MSPs reduce infrastructure costs without sacrificing performance?
By choosing providers with transparent, predictable pricing and by avoiding overprovisioning. Offloading infrastructure management to a trusted partner also reduces internal resource costs.
What are the best backup and disaster recovery solutions for MSPs?
Solutions like Acronis Cyber Protect offer secure, offsite backup with fast recovery. Ideal DR strategies also include replication, failover testing, and geographically redundant storage.
How do MSPs stay compliant with data sovereignty laws?
MSPs stay compliant by hosting client data in local data centres that meet jurisdictional requirements, and by choosing providers that offer full transparency on where data is stored.
What’s the most scalable cloud solution for MSPs?
Platforms that allow dynamic resource allocation and pay-as-you-grow pricing are most scalable. Look for infrastructure designed specifically to support MSP growth without requiring upfront CapEx.
How do MSPs offer managed security services in the cloud?
By integrating firewall, antivirus, monitoring, and compliance tools into the cloud stack. Many providers offer managed firewall services and support for SIEM/SOC integration.
Do MSPs need their own data centre to offer private cloud?
No. MSPs can offer private cloud using infrastructure partners that provide dedicated or segmented environments with full control — without needing to build or manage their own data centre.
What support should MSPs expect from an infrastructure provider?
Ideally: 24/7 access to real engineers, not outsourced tier-one support. Look for providers with SLA-backed support and dedicated account managers.
