What is an MSP (Managed Service Provider)?

Imagine you start up a small business and you’ll have, for instance, 25 employees. You could hire an IT staff, buy some servers and set up user accounts on your network for everyone, and have your IT staff run everything, or you could contract with an MSP. They’ll handle all your tech needs, typically in the cloud using services like AWS or Azure, they’ll maintain user accounts, potentially provide hardware (laptops, phones, that sort of thing), manage email services for all employees, and much more.

It’s not just for small business btw, that was just for an example. Even Microsoft uses MSPs, and they own Azure. Who would have guessed
