Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ reports will evaluate providers enabling enterprises and public-sector clients to use multi-cloud environments for more flexible operations
The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ report, called Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center Services 2023, scheduled to be released in
Buyers at enterprises and public agencies will be able to use information from the reports to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side clients.
Global demand for multi-cloud environments is surging as organizations seek greater agility, lower operating costs and maximum application performance and availability. Most data center outsourcing arrangements have elements of a hybrid cloud, which can combine an enterprise’s own infrastructure with the resources of outside providers. This allows organizations to take advantage of private and/or public cloud services while keeping critical data and systems within the firewall.
“More enterprises and public sector agencies are turning to data center outsourcing as business requirements change,” said
For the Private/Hybrid Cloud study, ISG has distributed surveys to more than 280 private and hybrid cloud services providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce three quadrants representing the services the typical enterprise is buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The three quadrants are:
- Managed Services, evaluating providers of ongoing management services to midmarket and large enterprise clients for private and hybrid clouds and traditional data center infrastructure. Typical services include data center consolidation, virtualization and cloud enablement and configuration.
- Managed Hosting, assessing providers of standalone enterprise-grade hosting solutions on their own or third-party infrastructure. Providers take responsibility for regular maintenance and management of components including servers, storage, operating systems and connectivity to external networks.
- Colocation Services, covering providers that offer standardized data center operations as colocation services, using community access points for various hosting providers, system houses, telecommunication carriers and end users. Clients expect a sophisticated data center setup, many carrier options and high-performance connectivity at affordable prices.
Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the global private/hybrid cloud market and examine products and services available in the
ISG analysts
An archetype report will also be published as part of this study. This report, unique to ISG, is the study of typical buyer types of private/hybrid cloud services as observed by ISG advisors.
