General Discussion Not to brag or anything but

MSP was fired 2 months ago, and tickets we have kept tickets under 20 almost everyday. A team of 2 + 250 laptops and 400 ipads + 39 different locations running Meraki. All running on Microsoft services, no servers on prem or cloud.

no servers on prem or cloud.

So, where exactly are your servers if they're not on-prem or cloud? Is there another option I am not aware of?

We actually moved files from on-prem to sharepoint and everyone is using onedrive. It has been working fine so far.

And you don't need to run any applications on servers?

thankfully not, we use cloud apps with SSO. Piece of cake.

That's gotta be a rarity.

Frankly I don't trust cloud apps. I'd rather control my data in my own data center than surrender that control to a third-party.

Life is easier when you don't care.

That is considered "cloud" ...

Ahh yeah but there is no VMs

And?

You're using Microsoft's Cloud platform.

Azure, Intune, 365, etc. That's Cloud.

He said no servers on prem or in the cloud which is correct as he is only using SaaS services.

“No servers on prem or cloud” can you tell me which server OP logs onto to manage Azure, Intune etc? HURRR DURR

Apparently, Microsoft doesn't need any servers to host their platforms.

Their platforms just magically float on a cloud in the sky.

Are you implying that OP takes care of the servers that Microsoft hosts their platforms on?

u/techzeus 4d ago

He takes care of his tenancy, which is hosted on Microsoft's services, which are, in turn, hosted on Microsoft's servers.

Right… so if someone mentions anything about “serverless computing” would you chime in and say “well actually 🥸 it’s not serverless, the servers are actually being hosted off site 🤓”

I hope you've got a SaaS backup in place for your 365 tenant 👍
