MANAGED SERVICES PRODIVERS
Cycloid for Managed Service Providers
Partner with a trusted engineering platform that will support you every step of your IT and digital transformation journey – both for you and your clients.
As a solution architect at a managed service provider, you're responsible for managing infrastructure for multiple clients, each with their own environments, teams, and access controls. Sound chaotic? Cycloid makes it seamless. With Cycloid's multi tenancy model, managing separate environments for different clients is just a few clicks away. Here, we're setting up three isolated projects, one for each client. Each project is a completely independent workspace with its own resources, settings, and users. No overlap, no confusion. The architect begins by setting up his workspace inside Cycloid. He already manages two active client environments, each isolated in its own project. Now he's adding a third. Cycloid's multi project structure makes it easy to separate clients, infrastructure, and teams all in one unified view. Just like that, the new project is up and ready, securely nested alongside the others. With the third project in place, the architect now sets up a new environment. In Cycloid, environments represent logical groupings within each project, ideal for separate staging, production, or isolated client workloads. Multi tenancy doesn't stop at the project level. It continues all the way down to the infrastructure. Each environment can be tailored to its client specific needs, use cases, or compliance boundary. Now the environment is ready, it's time to deploy infrastructure. This could be a Kubernetes cluster, Azure functions, or even something on prem. Cycloid supports them all. In this case, the architect wants to provision an AWS s three bucket using Terraform. Rather than writing code from scratch, Cycloid provides a reusable building block called a stack. To deploy the AWS s three bucket, the architect fills in a few details, the target AWS account, region, and a unique bucket name. Cycloid stack form makes infrastructure deployment feel like filling out a form. No manual Terraform scripting required. As the inputs are filled, Cycloid instantly provides cost estimates, both monthly and annual. No need to dig into AWS pricing calculators or custom cost scripts. It's built right into the deployment workflow. Even better, Cycloid gives you granular insights like inventory cost and object level breakdowns, helping you forecast beyond just top line cloud spend. Once ready, the platform automatically runs a Terraform plan and applies behind the scenes. Within a few moments, the infrastructure is provisioned, clean, auditable, and fast. Part four, role based access control. Each client or tenant can be fully isolated and secured using Cycloid's role based access control. Think of it like managing keys to three separate buildings. Each client only gets access to their own space. And even within that, each team member only gets access to the rooms they're authorized to enter. You can assign roles based on responsibilities, all in line with zero trust policies and least privileged access. No guesswork, no risk, just the right level of control always. And that's how Cycloid helps MSPs scale infrastructure delivery securely, efficiently and at speed.
What are the challenges?
Low visibility between client and organization
Lack of cloud and resource governance tools
Slow product delivery
Keeping up with the complex world of platform engineering, hybrid cloud, and FinOps, where your clients demand more creative and sophisticated solutions, is tough, and sometimes all you need is a little support along the way.
Boosting productivity, increasing profitability, and enhancing governance – that’s the goal for you, your clients, and the Cycloid platform.
Why partner with Cycloid?
We’re built on true collaboration
A self-service portal will break down the silos between you and your clients, speed up work, and allow both parties to see the progress that DevOps can bring. By letting developers service infra independently, you’re alleviating the pressure from those members of the team who focus on creating progress and finding the best possible solution for your client – not to mention the attractive value proposition for future customers!
Cloud management done right
Cycloid gives you complete control over your hybrid clouds, from role-based access to resources and costs. Set minimal privileges for users in Infra Policies, keep track of resources in Asset Inventory, and set your own cloud margins while getting a holistic overview of your spending in Cloud Cost Management.
Controlled accessibility underlies everything we do
Make your pipeline more accessible to certain members while simultaneously embedding control. Get a structured overview of your organizations in a centralized hub and open up the delivery process to anyone if your or your customer’s org – while the limits and controls you’ve imposed are practically imperceptible to the end-user.
Partnering with Cycloid allows us to combine our local expertise and IT operations background with their easy to use, rapid to deploy engineering platform, jointly creating a Platform Engineering as a Service solution that will benefit our customers immensely.
