 Servers & upgrades: costly &
wasted capital compared to
cloud
 Data requirements & data
protection needs: growing as
your clients start using more data
 Networking & associated security
appliance deployments: are
driving up networking costs
Data Center: Hardware Costs
Spending capital on servers, storage
and networking gear is getting
harder in the age of the cloud and
the need for faster deployments and
greater scale is increasing at a rapid
pace. MSPs must adapt.

 OS patching, backups &

data centers is is getting harder
without the cloud’s scalable and
secondary environments to build
and test on.
 Data protection with DR and
cloud based backup solutions is
now a requirement and not a
nice to have.
Data Center: Software Costs
The SaaS revolution and the ever
growing requirements by businesses
to analyze more data and automate
more processes requires MSPs to
deploy more software or add and
subtract seats.

ProfitBricks had the right combination of price, performance, usability and support. The support and account
management teams have always been so attentive to our needs. Initially, we viewed ProfitBricks as a cloud
partner for replicating data centers, for those clients who were interested in disaster recovery. We quickly
realized that on top of this the ProfitBricks solution falls in line with everything we want to do. Now we have one
provider for everything.

What attracted us to ProfitBricks, from the technical
side, was that the entire service is designed to
behave exactly like a physical server and data
center environment. ProfitBricks does not place any
restrictions on the design of the networks we need
in the cloud.
