ISG Launches Study on Data Center, Private Cloud and Hybrid Cloud Outsourcing
February 03 2020 - 12:25PM
Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global
technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research
study examining the private and hybrid cloud and data center
services outsourcing market.
The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG
Provider Lens™ report, called the 2020 Next-Gen
Private/Hybrid Cloud – Data Center Services & Solutions Report,
scheduled to be released in June. The report will cover the
outsourcing provider landscape in the data center, private cloud
and hybrid cloud markets and will examine the differentiated
positions of providers based on their competitive strengths.
Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the
report 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.
The new report examines three of the most enduring outsourcing
services, said Jan Erik Aase, director and global leader, ISG
Provider Lens Research. “Enterprises remain highly interested in
data center, private cloud and hybrid cloud services,” he said.
“The competition among service providers is intense even as many
enterprises shift to a hybrid cloud model.”
ISG has distributed surveys to more than 140 data center and
cloud service providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global
advisors, the research team will produce five quadrants
representing the services and products the typical enterprise
client is buying in the data center and cloud space, based on ISG’s
experience working with its clients. The five quadrants that will
be covered are:
- Managed services, covering providers’ ability to offer
ongoing management services for data center infrastructure and
platforms, including servers, middleware, storage, databases and
networking components;
- Managed hosting, assessing providers that offer
standalone enterprise-grade hosting solutions using their
facilities and infrastructure;
- Data center security products, including solutions that
counter IT infrastructure attacks or threats, irrespective of
whether they are installed in the cloud or on-premises;
- Hyper converged systems, including systems that are
closely aligned or preconfigured hardware and software appliances,
are blueprints designed to scale up or down and can centrally
manage a scalable cloud infrastructure;
- Colocation services, covering providers that offer
professional and standardized data center operations as collocated
services.
The report will cover the global data center, public cloud and
hybrid cloud markets and examine products and services available in
the U.S., Germany, the U.K., Switzerland, Brazil and the Nordic
countries. ISG analyst Shashank Rajmane will serve as lead author
of the report, and ISG analysts Heiko Henkes, Wolfgang Heinhaus,
Pedro L. Maschio, Manoj Chandra Jha and Blair Hanley Frank will be
regional authors.
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 data center and cloud services as observed by ISG
advisors.
A list of identified providers and vendors and further details
on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not
listed as data center or cloud providers can contact ISG and ask to
be included in the study.
