Struggling in the Cloud? Managed Services Explained
When companies think about migrating to the cloud, they usually need help moving their workloads to their new infrastructure. But many don’t understand the work that comes with managing their environment post-migration. That’s when most headaches start: costs creep up, gaps appear in security, and operations get messy if no one’s watching.
This is where managed services come into play. At JetSweep, our Managed Services keep your AWS environment safe and cost-efficient so your team can focus on what they do best — growing your business — while we focus on what we do best: running your cloud.
What Are Managed Services?
Managed services are proactive, ongoing IT operations provided by a third-party expert, like JetSweep. Rather than reacting to issues as they arise, managed services involve continuous monitoring, alerting, and optimization across your AWS environment.
What Is a Managed Services Partner (MSP)?
An MSP is a certified company with expertise in managing workloads, offering guidance, monitoring, and operational support. MSPs like JetSweep provide specialized knowledge that internal teams may lack, ensuring that your infrastructure operates cost effectively, efficiently, securely, and in alignment with your business goals.
Who Benefits From Managed Services?
Managed services are ideal for a wide range of users:
Companies new to the cloud: Net-new migrations often come with a steep learning curve. Managed services can help keep your environment running optimally long after migration.
Businesses concerned about cost or security: As organizations scale, cloud spend can spiral out of control, and security risks — including ransomware attacks — are on the rise. Managed services help with disaster recovery, while maintaining cost efficiency and safeguarding critical data.
Organizations seeking better MSP relationships: Even companies already working with an MSP can benefit from a fresh approach, leveraging new talent and proactive guidance to energize their cloud strategy.
Do MSPs Have Access to Client Data?
Data security is a common concern when outsourcing IT management to a managed services partner. JetSweep follows AWS best practices, implementing least privilege access so that our team only accesses what is necessary to manage the environment effectively. Clients maintain control over sensitive information, while we provide expert oversight to keep operations safe and compliant.
What Is the Typical ROI of Managed Services?
It varies, but companies consistently see benefits in:
Cost savings: By optimizing workloads, rightsizing instances, and reducing waste, we help clients save thousands annually. For example, a biotech client was able to cut AWS spend by $42,000 per year through our cost savings efforts.
Improved security: By performing security assessments and assisting with gap remediation, we help you run your cloud workloads safely and security. Think of managed services as an insurance policy against cyber threats, ransomware, and other disruptions.
Operational efficiency: Ongoing monitoring, proactive alerts, and strategic guidance allow teams to focus on innovation rather than day-to-day cloud management.
How Are Managed Services Evolving?
The cloud landscape is constantly changing. AWS environments are becoming more complex, and advancements like Agentic AI are reshaping how managed services are delivered.
At JetSweep, our Cloud Success Program takes a holistic view of your environment across cost, security, resiliency, and operations. The goal is making your AWS run better without you having to sweat the small stuff.
