Why Managed Azure?
Managed Azure allows you to offload the day-to-day operation and administration of your Azure environment or portions of it. SaskTel leverages a combination of Azure-native and SaskTel-hosted tools for better results. Choose from two plans to find the one that best meets your business needs.
- Managed Azure Standard
SaskTel manages your Azure Virtual Machines (VMs), providing comprehensive monitoring and alerting for the disks attached to these VMs and the virtual network gateways that power them. - Managed Azure Premium
SaskTel monitors and manages up to 24 Azure services, including everything in the Managed Azure Standard plan.
