Small internal platform teams
Extend operational coverage for agreed infrastructure tasks while internal teams retain application and business ownership.
MANAGED CLOUD
Home/managed cloud
Managed Cloud with Clear Ownership
Define which operational tasks WIDE IDC handles, which remain with your team and how decisions and access stay visible.
Managed cloud is a documented operating scope: it identifies which infrastructure tasks WIDE IDC handles, which remain with the customer and which belong to the cloud platform.
A specialist will review the service, workload, region, traffic, storage, backup and management scope with you.
01 / WHEN IT FITS
When managed cloud helps
Useful when infrastructure operations need consistent routines without removing customer control.
Multi-provider environments
Coordinate recurring infrastructure routines across providers with one documented responsibility map.
Post-migration operations
Turn a newly migrated environment into a defined operating baseline with known owners and procedures.
02 / DECISION INPUTS
Potential management scope
The operating scope is agreed for each environment and documented by responsibility.
Infrastructure operations
Agreed monitoring review, backup checks, access administration and infrastructure changes.
Change coordination
Documented requests, approvals, implementation windows and post-change checks.
Operational documentation
Maintain relevant architecture context, responsibility boundaries and run procedures for the agreed scope.
03 / METHOD
Managed-service onboarding
Bring an environment into management only after its current state and ownership are understood.
- 01
Inventory
Identify the in-scope accounts, systems, dependencies and access paths.
- 02
Boundaries
Agree customer, provider and WIDE IDC responsibilities and exclusions.
- 03
Baseline
Record the current architecture, procedures, backup and monitoring state.
- 04
Operate
Begin the agreed routines with documented requests and review points.
04 / DELIVERABLES
A responsibility-led service
The engagement starts by defining ownership, access, communication and the support scope.
Scope register
Systems, platforms, environments and included activities are written down and reviewed.
Access model
Administrative access is agreed around least privilege, customer control and workable operations.
Operating rhythm
Change, review, reporting and escalation routines are defined for the contracted scope.
05 / BOUNDARIES
Scope boundaries
These boundaries keep ownership, platform responsibility and evidence requirements clear.
Scope is agreed before access
Administrative access and operating permissions are defined only after the work, owners and approval path are understood.
Provider services remain provider services
Cloud availability, service terms and platform limits remain governed by the selected provider and configuration.
Outcomes require workload evidence
Performance, recovery and cost expectations are validated against stated requirements and tests; they are not assumed from a template.
Managed cloud responsibility matrix template
Use the downloadable template to record customer, WIDE IDC and cloud-provider responsibilities for access, monitoring, backup, change, incidents and documentation.
06 / FAQ
Questions before we begin
Clear answers about scope, ownership and the assumptions behind the service. Answers are shown in full for independent reading and citation.
01Does managed cloud mean WIDE IDC owns our account?
No. Account ownership and access are separate from the management scope and should be agreed around your governance needs.
02What is included in the service?
The service scope is shaped by the environment and documented as an agreed set of operational responsibilities.
03Can you manage more than one cloud provider?
A multi-provider scope can be assessed. Feasibility and responsibilities depend on the platforms, access, workloads and required operating routines.
