ISG to Assess Providers of Public Cloud Services, Solutions

Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ reports will evaluate providers helping enterprises and public sector organizations get the most of out their public cloud investments

Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining providers helping organizations adopt, manage and maximize value from their multi public cloud environments.

The study results will be published in two comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ reports: Multi Public Cloud Services and Multi Public Cloud Solutions, both scheduled to be released in December 2024.

The Services report, covering multiple geographic markets, will examine providers offering public cloud consulting and transformation services, managed services, public cloud infrastructure and platform services, FinOps and related AI services. The Solutions report, meanwhile, will assess global providers of multicloud FinOps platforms, cloud-native observability solutions and cloud-native security platforms.

Buyers 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.

Enterprises and public sector entities are seeking to partner with strategic service providers to support their cloud transformations leveraging such major hyperscalers as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. They are looking to providers to help them manage and secure workloads, enable observability, and optimize costs through FinOps strategies.

“Organizations are looking for partners and solutions that use intelligent automation and AI-powered tools to effectively manage, secure and optimize their public cloud infrastructure,” said Heiko Henkes, managing director, ISG Provider Lens Research. “The public cloud offers a number of benefits over on-premises data centers, including improved performance and scalability and better alignment with sustainability goals.”

For the Multi Public Cloud Services study, ISG has distributed surveys to nearly 240 providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce seven quadrants representing the typical multi public cloud services enterprises are buying based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The seven quadrants are:

  • Consulting and Transformation Services, assessing providers partnering with multiple public cloud infrastructure providers to help enterprises optimize and transform their IT operations to enhance efficiency, agility and security.
  • Managed services, covering managed service providers specializing in multicloud environments, comprising AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and other hyperscalers. These providers adopt a DevOps-centric approach to support continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and provide expertise in site reliability engineering (SRE) and business resiliency.
  • FinOps Services and Cloud Optimization, evaluating providers offering consulting and managed services for multicloud infrastructure cost optimization. Leaders demonstrate an ability to predict clients’ consumption patterns using AI- and ML-based analytics, as well as using FinOps frameworks to analyze and forecast usage, pricing and financial impact.
  • Hyperscale Infrastructure and Platform Services, assessing suppliers providing virtual compute resources, middleware and software in scalable public cloud environments. IaaS providers offer compute services, storage and network resources, as virtual or containerized software-defined offerings, complemented by serverless architectures, while PaaS providers offer multiple microservices and runtime engines for cloud-based application development.
  • SAP HANA Infrastructure Services, covering providers offering cloud infrastructures best suited to host SAP’s software portfolio, emphasizing SAP S/4HANA workloads and large-scale HANA databases, including operations, facilities, provisioning and scalability. Key criteria include data migration tools, technical support, system imaging, backup and restore capabilities, disaster recovery, resource usage monitoring and more.
  • Secure Enterprise Filesharing Services, analyzing vendors offering enterprise-grade cloud filesharing platforms to make business documents accessible via browser, desktop or mobile applications. These services provide strong administrative controls, access management, embedded security, compliance and data protection and recovery.
  • Sovereign Cloud Infrastructure Services, evaluating providers offering secure cloud infrastructure for hosting enterprise and public sector workloads and data in data centers located in specific geographies and subject to local jurisdiction, adhering to requirements described in projects including Gaia-X, GDPR and electronic data interchange (EDI).

Geographically focused reports from the study will cover the global multi public cloud services market and examine services available in Asia Pacific (excluding China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan), Brazil, France, Germany, the Nordics, Switzerland, the U.K., and the U.S., with a separate focus on filesharing services for Germany and sovereign cloud infrastructure services for Europe. ISG analysts Phil Hassey (Asia Pacific), Pedro L. Bicudo Maschio (Brazil and France), Meenakshi Srivastava (Nordics and U.K.), Ulrich Meister and Wolfgang Heinhaus (Germany and Switzerland), Shashank Rajmane (U.S.) and Bruce Guptill (U.S. Public Sector) will serve as authors of the reports.

For the Multi Public Cloud Solutions study, ISG has distributed surveys to more than 100 solutions providers and will evaluate provider capabilities in three quadrants:

  • Multicloud FinOps Platforms, covering independent software vendors (ISVs) offering standalone, dedicated/proprietary platforms and solutions for cloud financial management across multiple public clouds to help clients maintain financial accountability for their cloud services.
  • Cloud-native Observability Solutions, assessing software vendors that provide dedicated/proprietary platforms and solutions for cloud-native logging, tracing and measuring of containerized applications and infrastructure.
  • Cloud-native Security Platforms, evaluating ISVs offering dedicated/proprietary platforms and solutions for securing infrastructure and applications in a cloud-native environment, ranging from application development to production and runtime.

ISG analysts Shashank Rajmane and Partha Sarathi Chakraborty will serve as co-authors of the Multi Public Cloud Solutions report.

A list of identified providers and vendors and further details on the studies are available in these digital brochures: Multi Cloud Public Services and Multi Public Cloud Solutions. Companies not listed in either brochure can contact ISG and ask to be included in the studies.
