Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ reports will
evaluate providers enabling enterprises and public-sector clients
to use multi-cloud environments for more flexible
operations
Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global
technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research
study of service providers helping enterprises and U.S. public
sector organizations combine on-premises data centers and public
cloud to optimize IT operations.
The study results will be published in three comprehensive ISG
Provider Lens™ reports. The first two, called Private/Hybrid Cloud
— Data Center Services, will cover companies offering managed
services, managed hosting and colocation services for global
enterprises and U.S. public sector entities, respectively. The
third, called Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center Solutions, will
cover hybrid cloud management platforms and resiliency platforms.
The reports are scheduled to be released in June 2024.
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.
Private and hybrid cloud environments are crucial for enterprise
and public sector IT, offering security, efficiency and
flexibility, as well as advanced data management and integration
capabilities for AI and data training. Organizations with high
security needs, large data volumes, and close integration with
enterprise applications and workflows may opt for on-premises or
private cloud solutions.
“As the private and hybrid cloud landscapes become more complex,
enterprises and public sector entities need to choose strategic
services and solutions that drive efficiency and security and adapt
to evolving market dynamics,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and
global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Our studies delve into
these vital requirements, guiding organizations toward informed
choices for a successful cloud strategy."
For the two Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center Services studies,
ISG has distributed surveys to more than 275 private and hybrid
cloud services providers for the global report and more than 45
providers for the U.S. public sector report. Working in
collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will
produce three quadrants representing the services the typical
enterprise and U.S. public sector entity is buying, based on ISG’s
experience working with its clients. The three quadrants are:
- Managed Services, evaluating providers of services,
including managing physical and virtual servers, middleware,
storage, databases, and networking components across environments,
including client data centers, multi-cloud settings, provider
facilities, and third-party colocation centers. Providers typically
offer transition services and guide clients to optimize their
existing IT landscapes.
- Managed Hosting, assessing providers of standalone
enterprise-grade hosting solutions on their own or third-party
infrastructure. Providers take responsibility for regularly
maintaining and managing components, including servers, storage,
operating systems and connectivity to external networks.
- Colocation Services covers providers offering
standardized data center operations by renting space for services
and computing hardware in third-party spaces. Providers offer
building, cooling, power, and security services while clients
manage their hardware.
Geographically focused reports from the global study will cover
the private/hybrid cloud market and examine products and services
available in Asia Pacific, Brazil, France, Germany, Netherlands,
Nordics, Switzerland, the U.K., the U.S. and the U.S. Public
Sector.
ISG analysts Bruce Guptill, Pedro L. Bicudo Maschio, Phil
Hassey, Rohan Thomas, Meenakshi Srivastava, Ulrich Meister and
Wolfgang Heinhaus will serve as authors of the global report.
Guptill will serve as author of the U.S. public sector report.
A list of identified providers and vendors and further details
are available in this digital brochure for the global report and
this brochure for the U.S. Public Sector report.
For the Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center Solutions study, ISG
has distributed surveys to more than 40 providers. The two
quadrants are:
- Hybrid Cloud Management Platforms, evaluating software
vendors providing robust integrated management platforms to build
and manage on-premises, public, private and hybrid cloud
infrastructures, ensuring consistency across cloud environments and
enabling enterprises to deploy applications in a cost-effective,
automated and standardized manner.
- Resiliency Platforms, assessing independent vendors
offering platforms or solutions for backup and disaster recovery
within on-premises, private, public and hybrid cloud environments.
These platforms provide features such as business continuity and
disaster recovery strategy, planning, implementation and continuous
testing.
The solutions report will cover relevant services available in
the global market. ISG analyst Chandra Shekhar Sharma will serve as
author of the report.
A list of identified providers and vendors and further details
on the solutions study are available in this digital brochure.
Companies not listed in the brochures can contact ISG and ask to
