For many businesses, having a local, reliable data center partner can make all the difference in maintaining secure, efficient, and cost-effective IT solutions. Here at Alerify, we work closely with Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT companies, delivering data center services that enhance their capabilities and streamline their offerings for clients. We believe our local advantage improves service, trust, and scalability – and we'll explain why below.
Keeping Data Local, Enhancing Trust
One of our MSP partners used to rely on a large data center facility closer to Philadelphia. While it functioned well, the setup wasn’t ideal for their clients based here in Central PA. "We realized our clients were more comfortable knowing their data was local," this MSP explained. "They didn’t want to feel as though their critical information was stored hours away, adding the burden of travel and extended scheduling if something went wrong." By moving to Alerify's data center, they could offer their clients the peace of mind that comes with knowing their data is secure and nearby, right here in Central PA.
Cost Efficiency for MSPs and Their Clients
Running a data center requires significant investment in infrastructure, security, and expert personnel. For many MSPs, building and maintaining their own center simply isn’t financially feasible. Partnering with Alerify allows these companies to keep costs down while still benefiting from state-of-the-art infrastructure.
For example, a local IT firm specializing in healthcare support found that by offloading their infrastructure to Alerify, they saved thousands annually on maintenance, utilities, and staffing. They could then pass on these savings to their clients, all while delivering a reliable, secure, and locally managed data solution.
Faster Response Times
When urgent technical issues arise, time is of the essence. MSPs and IT providers we work with have found that partnering with our data center gives them the flexibility to address these needs immediately. Because our team is close and our facility is nearby, we can resolve issues directly and swiftly. There are no scheduling conflicts or costly delays. By working with a data center that prioritizes responsiveness, MSPs gain an operational advantage that can increase trust from their clients.
Tailored Solutions for Specific Industries
Different industries have different IT demands. By partnering with Alerify, MSPs are able to offer their clients tailored solutions that meet compliance, security, and operational requirements. For instance, an MSP serving financial firms approached us with a need for stringent data encryption and multiple layers of physical security to align with federal and state regulations. Alerify’s customizable approach allowed this MSP to confidently provide a data solution their clients could rely on to meet regulatory demands – something larger, more generalized data centers often can’t accommodate without significant add-ons.
Proactive Security, Backed by Local Experts
In today's threat landscape, data security isn’t just a priority – it’s a necessity. Our data center is outfitted with top-tier cybersecurity measures, from advanced firewalls and encryption protocols to 24/7 surveillance and access controls. MSPs benefit from having a secure, compliant environment for their data without having to manage these elements independently. By relying on Alerify’s dedicated team of experts, MSPs free up their own resources to focus on what they do best: managing and enhancing their client IT operations.
Hands-On Support for MSP Growth
We understand that when MSPs grow, we grow with them. By maintaining an agile, responsive team, we can adjust resources to meet scaling needs quickly and effectively. Recently, an MSP managing a sudden influx of new client accounts turned to us to expand their server capacity within days, ensuring seamless service continuity without added downtime.
Strengthening Relationships
With a local data center partner, MSPs can focus on building stronger, more personalized relationships with their clients. In today’s highly competitive market, companies need every advantage they can get to stand out. By offering clients a locally managed data solution, MSPs can reassure their clients that they’re invested in not only the service but in the communities they serve.
Choosing a data center is about more than just storage. It’s about ensuring security, maintaining cost efficiency, and delivering a locally managed, high-quality service that builds trust and supports growth. If you're interested in seeing how we work first-hand, reach out to us.
