A Managed Service Provider (MSP) takes care of a customer's information technology, IT infrastructure and management (such as network and infrastructure management, applications and security) through continuous and regular support as a service for a fixed and predictable amount per month. They provide customised advice so that you can focus on your core activities. This usually takes place in the MSP's own data center (hosting) or in a data center of a third party such as LCL.

Engaging an MSP has many benefits such as the use of managed IT services, cost savings, faster response times, reduction of risks, preservation of compliance, and more.
