Ravinder Grover runs IT for a mid-sized diagnostic lab chain headquartered in Gurugram. Four years ago, his five-member team managed two labs. Now they handle twelve, across six cities. His team hasn’t grown.
When Ravinder opens his daily dashboard, he doesn’t check tickets first. He checks uptime, latency, patch status, and usage analytics. He doesn’t wait for users to report problems. He acts before anyone notices. That shift happened the day they moved to a cloud-managed network.
Every branch Ravinder opened meant new switches, routers, cabling, and firewalls. It also meant travel, local contractors, and guesswork. Once, a Mumbai lab went offline for a full day because someone reset the wrong VLAN configuration. That single outage cost them a major client.
Traditional networks work well when you have teams on-site. Ravinder didn’t. And most Indian SMBs don’t.
With a cloud-managed stack, you don’t visit branches to troubleshoot. You don’t wait for field teams to configure hardware. You don’t depend on local service partners for firmware upgrades.
Your network is visible, end-to-end, in one dashboard. You can push policies, roll back changes, set bandwidth limits, block risky traffic, and even monitor temperature sensors, from wherever you are. You become proactive, not reactive.
You spend less time firefighting and more time planning. You don’t need to hire just to scale. You create predictable uptime without writing complex scripts or depending on tribal knowledge.
For lean IT teams in India’s mid-market firms, that’s not just helpful. It’s essential.
Bandwidth is patchy. Skills are uneven. Locations are far apart. But business expectations don’t lower.
With cloud-managed networks, Ravinder can bring a new site online in days. He can isolate malware before it spreads. He can see who’s using what, and why. When he needs support, his managed services partner jumps in from the same dashboard. That’s the kicker. It’s not just the tech. It’s the model.
Cloud-managed networks work best when paired with managed services. Ravinder doesn’t want to chase vendors. He wants outcomes. So his partner handles patching, reporting, escalations, and change management. This model works. It’s working for over 500 Indian companies already served by Proactive.
