Vendors offering integrated infrastructure as a service and platform as a service are moving beyond core public services to enterprise on-premises, edge, hybrid and multicloud requirements. Infrastructure and operations leaders should expand their evaluation criteria to include these new offerings.
All of the vendors in this year’s analysis are meeting most of the general public cloud infrastructure-as-a-service and platform-as-a-service requirements, while focusing on environments outside their respective public clouds.
Each provider has enhanced its hybrid cloud capabilities; however, these offerings will need to improve to meet complex enterprise requirements.
Although all providers have enhanced their edge computing offerings, only a few are significantly exceeding the basic requirements.
Providers that do not score high across all use cases can increase their likelihood of being relevant by developing strengths in specific areas. This makes multicloud a strong possibility for many enterprises.
