IT Central Station Finds Out"},"content":{"rendered":"

Managed services providers (MSPs) that handle backup and restore for their clients are finding solutions that drive increased efficiency yield higher profits for their businesses. The efficiency arises in terms of resource and bandwidth use, as well as in time spent on administrative tasks. Third-party review site\u00a0IT Central Station<\/a>\u00a0interviewed several MSP users of SolarWinds\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Backup who described how efficiency translates into cost savings, productivity, and profits.<\/p>\n

Efficient resource and bandwidth usage<\/h2>\n

Backup and restore processes, along with the many configuration and testing activities that surround them, can be resource- and bandwidth-intensive. The more efficiently a backup solution can handle resource and bandwidth usage, the more efficient the MSP\u2019s backup operation will be. As Chris Soutar, vice president of managed services at Entr\u00e9 Computer Solutions, put it, \u201cThe efficiency of the resource and bandwidth use when it comes to both backup and recovery has been excellent at this point. The cloud storage feature has made us much more efficient, as well as profitable, because of the ways the software changes and deduplicates the amount of storage used at any point in time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Pattison, director at Back Office IT, Ltd., finds the efficiency of the solution\u2019s resource and bandwidth use to be \u201cextremely good.\u201d He described how this efficiency affects his work routine, sharing, \u201cMost of the time, I’ll arrive in the morning, grab my morning coffee, fire up the console, and it\u2019s all green ticks, then the job is done, and we send the customer their invoice. It’s difficult to think of any way that the efficiency could be improved because it all just sort of works in a sensible time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Less time on administrative tasks<\/h2>\n

Backup automation and other ease-of-use features work to lower the amount of time MSPs spend on client backup tasks. \u201cThe most valuable feature is the automation,\u201d said Jim Timberman, managing director at Moser Consulting. He added, \u201cThe monitoring makes it very easy to check whether a backup has gone bad.\u201d Joe Carney, service manager at Computer Guild, concurred, noting, \u201cIt does most of the work for you. I don’t feel like I’m thinking too hard when I do this. I understand how the system works on the back end, and what it needs to do, but I don’t want to concentrate on that when I’ve got so many other things going on. This really does just so much of the legwork for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Carney, the solution\u2019s single dashboard is useful for keeping the work process efficient. It shows all the different sources it’s backing up, such as\u00a0databases<\/a>, files, folders, and system state. He revealed, \u201cIt gives you your entire client list. It gives you a daily update of green, yellow, or red. I get a daily email that I’m able to integrate into my ticket system. The tickets come in only if anything fails. If something fails, my technicians get details of exactly what failed with an error code.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dirk Wittkowski, president at Tech Help Group, Inc., similarly found the most valuable feature of the solution comes from the fact that it is \u201chands off.\u201d He said, \u201cI spend about five minutes in the portal, and even that is an exaggeration,\u00a0just to make sure everything is good in the morning. I’ll just go into the dashboard and see that single pane of glass and know that everything’s working. It’s a tremendous time-saver.\u201d<\/p>\n

Profitability<\/h2>\n

MSPs can operate more profitably when they combine productive use of people with efficient resource and bandwidth usage in backup workloads. Carney explained how this works, using \u201cincredible deduping\u201d from SolarWinds Backup as an example. He said, \u201cIf duplicate files on the system get uploaded, they make one source file that gets uploaded and it links back to the multiple spots it was copied from. This saves time and also saves money.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Wittkowski, the profitable feature was automated Recovery Testing. As he observed, \u201cIt’s five dollars a month to do recovery testing and it’s certainly worthwhile. We even bill out for that, and having that feature built-in is making us money. It’s automated.\u201d He further commented, \u201cSolarWinds is a major cost- and time-saver. The time-savings were even more important and, of course, also equate to money.\u201d<\/p>\n

The backup software vendor\u2019s pricing factors into MSP profitability as well. Carney said, \u201cDepending on what they have, we can give them [the client] an easy projection of what their investment in a system like that would be. There won’t be any surprises such as, \u2018Oh, we went over one terabyte, we now have to get to the five terabyte cap,\u2019 which is something I had to deal with when I used Carbonite.\u201d In contrast, as he remarked, \u201cIf I go a gigabyte over the standard cap for a server or workstation, I pay a set amount of money that doesn’t scale up or down. I know exactly what I can do with this solution for any client. I know exactly how much I can charge them, and it’s done monthly.\u201d<\/p>\n
