Cloud Managed Services for Dynamics NAV and Business Central
In today's competitive world, a highly available, robust and scalable environment is vital to give your business the right foundation to grow.
What is a Managed Service?
A managed service offering allows businesses to employ the services of a company (like TNP) who can offer technical support for IT infrastructure, such as hosting your ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution.
A managed service allows companies to outsource networks, cloud solutions, data storage and more. This can include consultancy and education for your team, helping you to become self-sufficient if required.
With Microsoft Azure and Dynamics 365 Business Central or Dynamics NAV, a managed service removes the effort required to maintain the ERP system environment and helps to reduce costs. This includes configuration, backing up data and offering support where required.

What is Microsoft’s Cloud ‘Azure’?
Microsoft Azure is a growing collection of integrated cloud services that developers and IT professionals use to build, deploy and manage applications through Microsoft’s global network of data centres. It gives you the freedom to build and deploy wherever you want, using the tools, applications and frameworks of your choice.
The benefits of having your Dynamics NAV or Dynamics 365 Business Central system hosted in the Microsoft Cloud or in our hosted platform include many of the benefits you get from a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environment, e.g. you needn't worry about supporting servers, understanding the technology or security.
Unlike a SaaS model, our managed service environment gives you flexibility of dedicated and configurable servers and environment, accessibility to underlying databases and flexibility of pricing e.g. capital purchase of a licence or re-use of your existing licence.

Security Services
As security becomes more complex and threats to your data more regular, a cloud-hosted environment offers you high level protection from malicious attacks, like ransomware.
TNP's managed service can benefit you in the following ways:
- Microsoft Azure Cloud adheres to an internationally-recognised set of standards and certifications.
- Local network security; user-level security management is undertaken using Active Directory where appropriate or Local Security accounts.
- Infrastructure management including shared SQL Servers, Active Directory, Automation accounts, Monitoring tools and Azure Security Centre.
- Network external access - access to the Azure network is managed using the Azure Network Security (NSG) groups.
- DDoS protection.
- Every Dynamics NAV or Business Central endpoint has SSL enabled for all the available services, e.g. Windows Client, SOAP, OData and Web Client. The data transfer between the client and the server running in Azure is encrypted using the security certificate.
Consultancy Services
TNP's Managed Services team offer Azure consultancy and advisory services to help you architect your cloud solution and understand the best way forward with complex and often challenging Azure migration and implementations.
In addition to our managed service (where we look after everything for you), you may want to have your own Azure environment - this could even be instead of our managed service. An example of this would be to bring other legacy systems into the cloud.
Our consultancy service can help you and your team understand and maximise the benefits of the Azure Cloud hosting solution.
