What is an MSP?

MSP stands for Managed Service Provider.

An MSP is a company that manages the network environment for small and medium sized businesses. These businesses generally don't have the need for full time IT personell. So it makes sense to give the responsibility of managing the IT to a company that is in the business of this type of management.

MSPs can provide real time monitoring of the servers and workstations for the client. This means that they have the ability to tell what is happening on the client's end and can respond to the needs very quickly. Most times, the competant MSP is aware of the situation long before anyone in the office has.

Several methods can be employed to monitor the network environment. The fastest methods include notifying the responsible network administrators of the events via SMS text messages and e-mail so they can react to the situation immediately.

MSPs can also greatly increase the bottom line of the companies they work with by increasing the efficiency of the network and employees.
