Hybrid IT infrastructure provider delivers platform for high-performance workloads
ATLANTA – August 3, 2015 – Internap Corporation (NASDAQ:INAP, news, filings), a provider of high-performance Internet infrastructure services, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “Niche” quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Cloud-Enabled Managed Hosting, North America.”i
Gartner defines Cloud-Enabled Managed Hosting as a market that “deals in standardized, productized hosting offerings that combine a cloud-enabled system infrastructure (CESI) platform – comprising compute, network and storage hardware owned and operated by a service provider – with cloud management platform software to facilitate self-service and rapid provisioning with managed services.” The report evaluated 19 providers for their completeness of vision and ability to execute, based on criteria such as market understanding, innovation, product/service offering and customer experience.
“Organizations that seek to compete with a technology-based differentiation are increasingly relying on managed services delivered over high-performance bare-metal and public cloud platforms as the proven way to rapidly scale their applications and business,” said Satish Hemachandran, senior vice president and general manager, cloud and hosting, at Internap. “We believe our recognition as a niche player in the Magic Quadrant for Cloud-Enabled Managed Hosting validates our unique ability to provide a full range of standards-based, hybrid infrastructure services that can address our customers’ performance and compliance needs.”
