Why Small Businesses Are Choosing Managed IT Support in San Francisco

Managed IT Support in San Francisco

Balancing Expenses

IT support in San Francisco can provide your business the same level of service that most internal solutions provide. In fact, you are likely to receive better services through an MSP than you could through traditional internal solutions. When you have an MSP at the helm, you will have cutting-edge solutions provided by professionals who have seen a diversity of clients, and so understand how to work with a diversity of needs.

When you source IT internally, even if you pay top-dollar, IT personnel are concerned with maintaining your systems. They have to purchase, transport, upgrade, troubleshoot, patch, backup, and do countless other things which are involved in maintaining the network. As a result, they are always trying to catch up, and they do not get to experience the differences between client networks, limiting their overall experience. It is hard to move forward when you are always treading water; think of MSP solutions like a jet ski through the seas.

If you have a small business, you may not even have the luxury of employing an internal IT solution on a permanent basis. Small businesses only have part-time IT personnel, and they end up doing all the maintenance and troubleshooting.

However, with IT support in San Francisco, you can enjoy the cutting-edge, well-informed professional advantages of an MSP at a fraction of the cost. There is a security element involved, and a management element. Still, in the vast majority of cases, MSPs will even provide you better security solutions, because again they are privy to changes in the industry.

Get Quick Protection

A great example is WannaCry, a ransomware attack that happened in May of 2017. The NSA left a backdoor into Windows machines that utilized SMB ports. When this information was leaked in March, hackers designed a ransomware worm to exploit that back door. MSPs sent out patches as soon as they could, and those that applied them were not compromised. Those who did not use them experienced extreme difficulties. It was a spooky situation! With Halloween just around the corner, you do not want to find yourself spooked by ransomware, do you? Talk about a “trick.”

On-site IT may miss something like the WannaCry worm because their concentration may not always focus on developing trends. Some certainly were affected, but the worldwide spread of the worm shows how many did not, and that is as spooky as the midnight wind.

Solutions

For businesses, there are the modern options available worth considering. They include:

  • Cloud Computing (and its many iterations)
  • IoT (Internet of Things)
  • Edge Computing
  • Remote Offices

Cloud computing can outsource internal networks through an MSP, which saves small businesses on infrastructural costs while providing them the same utility as larger operations. IoT additionally assists in optimization. Edge computing floats a quasi-cloud solution through mobile devices in an IoT network, and all these things together are coming to characterize remote offices. BYOD or Bring Your Own Device cuts office rental and equipment costs drastically.
