MSP's Can Take Advantage of CorKat's Hosted Cloud Solutions

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s that working remotely is not the future, it is here now. This approach is not new, but massive volumes of workers were essentially forced into working remote last year, and now that they’ve seen the light, the work landscape is forever changed.
In this blog, we'll cover a discussion between Mark Grundy of CorKat and ARRC’s Technology Senior Project Manager, Sawyer Snowden. Read the following as they discuss how managed service providers can take advantage of CorKat’s hosted server solutions with a purpose-built data center to support MSPs.
Now that MSPs are supporting clients with employees working from home, the potential risks – not to mention frustrations – are numerous.
Some clients connect to premise-based servers remotely, and some use VPNs. Performance is quite slow in many cases, and it’s impacting productivity depending on the complexity of the work. Thanks to today’s technology and greater bandwidth and speed, however, even virtual desktops can run 3D modeling in hosted environments.
Another big issue right now is that potentially vulnerable PCs are connected to business servers. Some people working from home use family computers that are shared with children. There’s no telling what risky things other users have downloaded onto these machines. And when the compromised units connect to the company’s servers, those foreign threats can damage everything they touch.
With hosted solutions, however, it doesn’t work that way. Any device with an internet connection can safely connect remotely in the cloud, and not directly through the network. And since you’re not passing data through your network, everything remains safe and secure. As working from home becomes the new norm, MSPs need to focus more on security than maintaining physical boxes. CorKat’s cloud solution is one of the safest choices you can make.
