RESTON, VA — (Marketwired) — 06/01/17 — Cloudistics, an on-premises cloud computing company, today announced it has been named a “Cool Vendor” in the May 2017 Gartner “Cool Vendors in Cloud Infrastructure, 2017” report. This designation follows last month–s IDC recommendation naming the company as an IDC Innovator.
In the “Cool Vendors” report, Gartner analysts Philip Dawson, Andrew Butler, Chirag Dekate, Julia Palmer, Adrian Leow, Arun Chandrasekaran and Dennis Smith noted that “As enterprises grapple with the right mix of on-premises, off-premises and native cloud, choosing a cloud infrastructure vendor becomes more critical. I&O (infrastructure and operations) leaders should look to vendors like those in this research for innovative ways to support varying workload deployments across delivery models.”
The report suggests that “I&O leaders should examine these Cool Vendors closely and leverage the opportunities that they provide,” noting that “different styles of applications drive different cloud adoption; it is not –one cloud fits all.–“
