How we ranked

• 24/7 coverage — whether live support runs around the clock, not business hours with an emergency pager.
• Published SLAs — a response commitment stated publicly, not negotiated per contract behind a sales call.
• Pricing transparency — published starting prices versus quote-only.
• Service breadth — infrastructure, cloud, security, and end-user support under one contract.
• Certifications — ISO 27001, SOC 2, and vendor partner status (Microsoft, AWS, Google).

1. Medha Cloud

Medha Cloud provides 24/7 managed services for servers, Microsoft 365 tenants, and cloud infrastructure, with operations in India and the United States. Support channels are live chat and phone around the clock, with a 15-minute response SLA. Server management pricing is published, starting at $299 per server per month.

The company is ISO 27001 certified and a Microsoft Partner. Alongside direct client work, it operates a white-label program under which other MSPs resell its NOC, help desk, and migration services under their own brand. Related service documentation: remote DBA services and Linux server support.

Fit: SMBs and mid-market companies that want published pricing and a stated response SLA, and MSPs that need white-label delivery capacity.

2. Rackspace Technology

Rackspace Technology is a multicloud managed services company headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, founded in 1998. It manages workloads across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, and operates its own private cloud offerings, with additional practices in data services and security.

Rackspace sells tiered service levels; response commitments are set by the tier and contract rather than a single public SLA. Pricing is quote-based. Fit: mid-market and enterprise organizations running multicloud estates that want cloud operations handed to a specialist rather than staffed internally.

3. Kyndryl

Kyndryl is the IT infrastructure services business spun off from IBM in 2021, headquartered in New York. It designs, builds, and manages large-scale IT systems: mainframe, core enterprise and cloud, network and edge, digital workplace, security, and resiliency services.

SLAs and pricing are contract-specific and not published. Fit: large enterprises with complex, often mainframe-inclusive estates and multi-year outsourcing agreements. It is not positioned for SMB engagements.

4. Accenture

Accenture is a global professional services company headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Its managed services arm runs cloud platforms, application estates, infrastructure, and security operations for enterprise clients, usually bundled with consulting and transformation work.

SLAs and pricing are negotiated per engagement; nothing is published. Fit: enterprises buying managed operations as part of a broader transformation program, where the same firm designs the change and then runs the result.

5. Wipro

Wipro is an Indian multinational technology services company headquartered in Bengaluru, founded in 1945. Its managed services portfolio covers cloud and infrastructure operations, digital workplace, application management, and cybersecurity, delivered through global delivery centers.

SLAs and pricing are contract-specific. Fit: enterprises seeking large-scale outsourced IT operations with offshore delivery economics and long contract terms.

6. Infosys

Infosys is an Indian multinational headquartered in Bengaluru, founded in 1981. Its managed services run through Infosys Cobalt for cloud, plus infrastructure management and application managed services practices, typically attached to larger digital programs.

SLAs and pricing are negotiated per contract. Fit: enterprises with existing Infosys delivery relationships or those consolidating application and infrastructure operations with one offshore-capable vendor.

7. Dataprise

Dataprise is a managed IT and cybersecurity provider headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, founded in 1995. Services cover managed IT, managed cybersecurity and detection/response, cloud, and end-user help desk, and the company has expanded through a series of MSP acquisitions.

8. Ntiva

Ntiva is a managed IT services company headquartered in McLean, Virginia, founded in 2004 by Steven Freidkin. It provides managed IT, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365 and cloud services, and strategic IT consulting, and has grown through acquisitions across US markets.

Pricing is quote-based on per-user structures; no public response SLA. Fit: SMB and mid-market companies, particularly Microsoft-centric organizations wanting co-managed or fully managed IT with a consulting layer.

9. Corsica Technologies

Corsica Technologies is a managed IT and cybersecurity company headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. Alongside standard managed IT and security operations, it maintains an EDI and data integration practice, which is uncommon among mid-market MSPs and relevant to distribution and manufacturing clients.

Pricing is quote-based; no public response SLA. Fit: mid-market companies, especially those needing EDI or data integration managed alongside general IT.

10. All Covered (Konica Minolta)

All Covered is the IT services division of Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., acquired by Konica Minolta in 2011. It delivers managed IT, cloud, and security services with industry-specific practices for legal, healthcare, education, and financial services firms.

Pricing is quote-based; no public response SLA. Fit: SMBs already in the Konica Minolta ecosystem or firms in its vertical specializations that want industry-tuned IT management.

What is a managed service provider

A managed service provider (MSP) is a company that operates a client's IT systems on an ongoing contract: monitoring, patching, backup, security, user support, and vendor management, for a recurring fee. The client keeps ownership of the systems; the MSP takes responsibility for keeping them running.

MSPs typically handle server and network management, end-user help desk, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace administration, backup and disaster recovery, cybersecurity monitoring, and cloud infrastructure operations. Larger contracts add strategic planning (vCIO) and compliance management.

MSP vs break-fix: break-fix IT bills hourly after something fails; an MSP is paid a flat recurring fee to prevent failures and is contractually accountable for response times. The MSP model aligns the provider's income with uptime rather than with incident volume.

Pricing models: per-user per-month (common for end-user-heavy SMBs), per-device or per-server per-month (common for infrastructure-focused contracts, such as Medha Cloud's from-$299/server/month plan), tiered bundles, and all-inclusive flat fees. Enterprise deals are custom-scoped and quote-based.

How to choose an MSP

• Confirm the response SLA in writing, with the measurement method (first human response, not auto-acknowledgment).
• Verify 24/7 coverage is staffed, not on-call.
• Ask for published or itemized pricing and what triggers out-of-scope billing.
• Check certifications: ISO 27001 or SOC 2, plus vendor partnerships matching your stack.
• Match provider size to yours — enterprise outsourcers underserve 50-seat companies, and small MSPs cannot staff follow-the-sun coverage.
• Review the exit terms: data return, documentation handover, and notice period.

FAQ

What is an MSP?

An MSP (managed service provider) is a company contracted to run and maintain another organization's IT — servers, networks, security, user support — for a recurring fee, under defined service levels.

What do managed service providers charge?

Common SMB ranges are roughly $100–$250 per user per month for full management, or per-server pricing for infrastructure-only contracts (Medha Cloud publishes from $299 per server per month). Enterprise contracts are custom-scoped. Most providers on this list quote per engagement rather than publishing rates.

What is the difference between an MSP and an MSSP?

An MSP runs general IT operations; an MSSP (managed security service provider) runs only security: SOC monitoring, detection and response, threat intelligence. Many MSPs now include MSSP-grade security services, and several companies on this list operate their own SOCs.

Who are the largest managed service providers?

By revenue, the largest companies delivering managed services are the global outsourcers and integrators: Kyndryl, Accenture, Wipro, Infosys, and peers such as TCS and DXC. Dedicated MSP-model firms like Rackspace, Dataprise, and Ntiva are smaller but structured specifically around recurring managed contracts.

What should a response SLA look like?

A usable SLA states a maximum time to first human response by severity, applies 24/7, and carries a remedy if missed. Most providers on this list negotiate SLAs per contract; only a minority publish them.
