asp industry
what is an application service provider ( asp )
an application service provider ( asp ) is a company that offers individuals or groups access over the internet to software applications and related services that would otherwise have to be located in their own personal or enterprise computers . asp services are expected to become an important alternative , not only for smaller companies with low budgets for information technology , but also for larger companies as a form of outsourcing and for many services for individuals as well .
early applications include :
remote access serving for the users of an enterprise
an off - premises local area network to which mobile users can be connected , with a common file server
specialized applications that would be expensive to install and maintain within your own company or on your own computer
while asps are forecast to provide applications and services to small enterprises and individuals on a pay - per - use or yearly license basis , larger corporations are essentially providing their own asp service in - house , moving applications off personal computers and putting them on a special kind of application server that is designed to handle the stripped - down kind of thin client workstation . this allows an enterprise to reassert the central control over application cost and usage that corporations formerly had in the period prior to the advent of the pc . microsoft ' s terminal server product and citrix ' s winframe products are leading thin - client application server products .
msp industry
what is an msp ?
the managed service provider ( msp ) phenomenon is between 18 and 24 months old and is attracting a lot of attention from potential users and service providers wanting to add value . but different providers define it different ways , and service offerings range from the very limited to the very broad .
a managed service provider delivers aspects of outsourced it operations , usually via an ip network . all msps remotely manage network infrastructure on an ongoing basis , while some extend their offerings to provide and manage application infrastructure . note : some msps refer to themselves as ' management service providers .
three main types of msp
in today ' s market , three main types of msp can be distinguished . they differ in terms of :
the range of services offered
the amount of responsibility they take for a client ' s business
scope - that is , the size of the msp and the size of their target customer
the low level - pure - play msps
this group of msps describe themselves as ' management service providers ' , not ' managed service providers ' . many of the members of the year - old msp association fall into this category . the defining principle here is that these msps assist client companies in managing network infrastructure and limit themselves primarily to monitoring the performance of the network and of applications running over the network . they deliver services remotely via an ip network , sometimes by gathering data from a client ' s site via a networked server placed on site .
range of services
watching uptime , performance and availability are the central value propositions of this type of msp , although many in this category are expanding into extended infrastructure services , such as security , storage and testing .
level of responsibility
this type of msp takes little , if any , responsibility for a client ' s business . if it offers a service - level agreement , it is likely to be for the uptime of its own monitoring process , not for the client ' s website . its activities might be limited to reporting and alerts if a website experiences problems , or might extend to generating and tracking problem reports . if it extends its offerings to include security and storage , its responsibility level may increase accordingly .
scope
msps at this level tend to be small ( 50 - 300 employees ) . their clients will be smes with it departments that are either understaffed , taken up with major projects , or focused on non - infrastructure core competencies . clients tend to engage a low - level msp for one aspect of infrastructure monitoring ; if the relationship develops satisfactorily , they will then add additional services over time .
this level of msp is attempting to make msp work as a business model , which will have short - term success at best .
the mid - level - msp as a value - added service
mid - level msps tend to describe themselves as ' managed service providers ' and to offer a broader range of services that take greater responsibility for a client ' s business .
range of services
these msps may move beyond performance monitoring and reporting to software patches , installation and upgrades , and application infrastructure provision , which require them to be proficient in web application servers . an msp at this level will take pride in offering as wide a range of services as possible , seeing this as a differentiator .
level of responsibility
mid - level msps also differentiate themselves by assuming greater responsibility for the functioning of a client ' s business . if a site goes down , they will do more than notification - they will work with the client to restore function . service - level agreements reflect this level of responsibility .
scope
msps at this level can be large , as managed service will be folded in to other service offerings , such as web hosting or network provision . they target the fortune 500 or 1 , 000 enterprise as a customer , although many also serve medium - sized clicks - and - mortar companies .
web - hosting providers such as digex offer msp at this level as a value - added service to their core service provision , which is hosting websites . major telcos such as cable wireless and france telecom ( via equant and global one ) offer msp as well . loudcloud is probably the best - known example of a pure - play msp that has grown its business successfully in past years , although it is currently struggling to make the concept work in an inhospitable economy .
the high level - outsourcing it operations
these msps undertake to allow clients to outsource their entire it operation , if desired - truly one - stop shopping . they can also provide lower levels of service , like a mid - level msp .
range of services
msps at this level offer a full range of traditional managed service and add aspects of application handling , such as integration and even application hosting , which can be defined as ' one - to - one remote custom outsourcing of applications .
level of responsibility
service - level agreements in this segment will be customized to reflect differing levels of responsibility available to clients , depending on how much they want and are willing to pay . this type of msp can be the mythical xsp that shapes the technological identity of the client , choosing its hardware , storage , level of security and packaged application suites .
scope
small and large providers co - exist in this space , serving different constituencies . systems integrators and consultancies play here . boutique shops serve smes , and large providers such as eds , ibm global services and pricewaterhouse coopers serve large multinational corporations and , increasingly , medium - sized enterprises - competing with smaller shops in these cases .
