Azure Managed Service

Gain control over your Azure costs and ensure business continuity and security

The Columbus Azure Managed Service is designed to help you improve cost control, security, and business continuity in the cloud.

Service in detail:

Scoping: This initial phase involves a thorough examination of your Azure services across maintenance, backup, cost, and security. We identify which resources will be maintained, what needs backing up, where costs can be optimized, and which security practices will be evaluated.

Baseline Setting: In this stage, we establish a clear starting point for each area. We evaluate the current performance of your Azure services, define the parameters for effective backups, analyze your spending for cost-saving opportunities, and assess your security practices to provide a security rating.

Operations: The final step is the active management of your Azure resources. We conduct ongoing maintenance to ensure optimal performance, oversee your backup strategy for data safety, implement cost-saving actions to optimize your spending, and work on enhancing your security measures based on the initial assessment.

Azure Maintenance: The key deliverables from this aspect are the regular maintenance reports that show the status and performance of the Azure resources and services in scope, the actions taken by the Supplier to prevent issues, optimize performance and enhance security, and the results and outcomes of those actions.

Azure Backup Management: The key deliverables from this aspect are the backup policies and schedules that define the backup frequency, retention and recovery options for the Azure resources and services in scope, the backup status reports that show the success and failure of the backup processes, and the restore reports that show the data recovery details and outcomes.

Azure Cost Management: The key deliverables from this aspect are the cost management reports that show the Customer's Azure consumption and billing details, the insights and recommendations on how to optimize their Azure spending, and the cost-saving actions that have been implemented by the Supplier or the Customer.

Azure Secure Score: The key deliverables from this aspect are the secure score reports that show the Customer's Azure Secure Score and how it compares to the industry average and best practices, the security controls and recommendations that have been implemented by the Supplier or the Customer to improve their Azure Secure Score, and the security incidents and alerts that have been detected and resolved by the Supplier or the Customer.
