No one realizes the value of something until it’s no longer there. This can be especially true for data. When you don’t have cloud backup, you risk losing years of hard work every hour of the day. This has especially become a significant concern in the age of remote and hybrid work, where cyberattacks and other potential calamities are lurking around every corner. However, this also creates an opportunity for managed service providers (MSPs) to offer backup solutions.
A global study of chief information officers found that 82% of respondents believe their companies are at risk from cyberattacks aimed at their software supply chains. In this situation, cloud solutions have become increasingly important for business—including those in traditional industries—to maintain competitiveness and flexibility. Modern, cloud-based systems are increasingly essential for enabling knowledge workers to collaborate effectively from home.
Gartner estimates that by 2025, 85% of businesses will be cloud-first. Hosting services are enormously benefiting from this trend.

Veeam offers a separate portal for sellers. Basic self-service management and configuration are at the service provider’s disposal; they can add customers at their own pace and also brand the portal with their own logo.
Service providers can also easily view their current consumption, including the number of virtual machines housed in their respective environments and the percentage of their already consumed quota. This gives MSPs an overall picture of their area’s safety and preparedness to deal with possible disasters.
A reseller’s view of their protected virtual machines also includes granular information like the number of backups and restore points. Even if already paid, you’ll be able to outstanding invoices and other important billing information.
3. Encourages repeat business
Since there’s a rising demand for cloud data management solutions that are mobile, adaptable and available, it makes sense for MSPs to make the switch to subscription-based IT services.
