DCAAS is a hosting service that allows physical data center infrastructure to be provided to clients, meaning that all essential server installations and maintenance are off-site, at a third-party location, closely guarded, and cared for. This all but removes logistical and budgetary limits that your business may have trying to establish on your own, which may have otherwise been a preventative measure for your business staying in business.

Managed data center services are essential for any business that needs to store large amounts of information. The main benefit of managed data centers is that they provide 24/7 monitoring and maintenance services. You don’t need to worry about power outages, hardware failures, or other issues that could cause downtime.

A managed data center tends to provide you the full functionality, maintenance, and monitoring regarding the upkeep and health of your systems without taking the administrative control from your hands. An entirely managed one ensures all of the back-end data center administrators is performed by the data center provider.

Individual prices will differ depending on the provider used and the scope of your service needs. However, most providers will tend to make this ease-of-access philosophy regarding modern IT infrastructure and server hosting and apply it to their pricing strategy. This means that many providers will charge a flat monthly fee for their services, reducing or expanding depending on how many services you opt for, and what addons you may wish to integrate with your package. Be sure to see what bundles or options are available when onboarding through a given provider.
