SINGAPORE - Media Outreach - 10 February 2021 - The benefits of automation in ManagedServices are well understood, but the diverse requirements of end-clients havemeant that manual operations were still the norm. The complexity inimplementing automation is increased with the hybrid workload (servers spreadacross the Big-3 cloud providers Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform,Microsoft Azure) and hence most providers were forced to rely on manualoperations.

This changes with InfraGuard.io which isbringing in an era of Platform-backed Managed Services with in-built automationand self-governance features. Singapore-based Cloud Comrade is one of the firstpartners to adopt this new way of working.

InfraGuard's CEO, Deepak Sharma said,"InfraGuard is built by converging our decade-long experience in Cloud ManagedServices into a single product. Imagine a server management solution that worksseamlessly across all Cloud Providers & Data Centres and supports allflavours of Windows & UNIX Operating Systems. One that brings central accesspolicies, automation and scalability right from Day 1 and is backed byworld-class support. Too good to be true? Well, it is a reality now. InfraGuardis today being used by some of the world's largest Public Cloud MSPs."

Cloud Comrade, oneof the fastest-growing managed service providers (MSPs) in Southeast Asia, hasbeen the first partner to adopt InfraGuard as the platform of choice to deliverautomated Managed Services to all its clients.
