Go Beyond CSP With Zones CSP+

Next-level simplicity, flexibility, and cost savings that other cloud service providers can’t match

Businesses all over the world are moving to the cloud in droves, and with good reason. The cloud offers matchless scalability, improved continuity, and cost savings to boot. But what’s the best way to manage the cloud transition?
Working with the right partner can certainly help. As an elite Microsoft cloud solution provider, Zones has the knowledge and expertise to support you throughout your cloud journey. And with CSP+, we provide the end-to-end solutions and support you need to get the most out of the cloud.

The cloud can no longer be ignored.

The business world has seen a substantial amount of migration to the cloud in just the last 10 years. A cloud migration carries enormous benefits to organizations of any size, including:

Matchless scalability.
Improved continuity, especially in the face of disaster.
Reduced costs.
Improved user accessibility and collaboration.

But data migration to the cloud is a big task, even for a large company, which is why many organizations are reaching out to a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) to aid them on their cloud journey. But it’s not easy to find the right CSP for you – there are so many out there. Which will give you the end-to-end solutions and support you need to get the
most out of the cloud?
There are a few key challenges your organization should bear in mind:

Lack of control or governance.
The complexity of juggling multiple cloud platforms.
An inability to forecast future cloud needs.

Introducing Zones CSP+

We at Zones seek to go beyond the typical CSP offering to give our clients something new and beneficial for any organization, regardless of size.

That’s why we developed CSP+ – a unique, end-to-end suite of cloud services that combines best-of-breed cloud offerings with our proven Assess, Design, Implement, Manage (ADIM) framework.
Zones CSP+ guides users through the cloud journey with a well-defined roadmap that plans for any eventuality. With Zones CSP+, you will have insights and pointed data with customized dashboards. This will boost your organization's digital transformation journey, through cloud migration and beyond.

Assessment

When you’re ready to take the first steps on your cloud journey, Zones will be there. We offer several cloud assessments to give you the visibility you need into both your current environment and your future options
in the cloud. Zones Discovery Services for Office 365 and Zones Cloud Advisory Assessment enable discovery on multiple environments across many data centers, all with a single view of devices and software.
Our tools encompass features to map applications and services, performance heat map creation, and TCO modeling for the cloud.

Deployment

Once we have a handle on your environment and have planned the path your journey will take, Zones will be there to guide you on your migration. We offer deployment and migration services for Office 365
and Azure infrastructure, including architecture and design of cloud-based messaging systems, lift and shift services to build exact copies of workloads, network configuration, and more.

Relationship Governance

Our job doesn’t end once your migration is complete, either. Zones provides clients with health and financial governance support at regular intervals. We’ll conduct configuration checks, overall infrastructure health checks, and pattern recognition for anomalies to ensure your cloud solution is working as intended. Plus, we help clients monitor their usage and spending over time and give data-driven recommendations.
