CRN's 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Vendors

As the cloud computing model has moved from hype to a bona fide segment of the technology landscape in a few short years, distinguishing the major players from those just looking to throw their hat in the ring can be a difficult task. For solution providers and their customers looking to reap the benefits of the cloud, sifting through the increasing list of potential partners can be downright daunting.

Fortunately CRN has drilled into the growing madness that is the cloud computing industry with an annual list that examines the best-of-the-best when it comes to cloud vendors. The aim of CRN's 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Vendors is to identify the most innovative cloud vendors across the platforms, infrastructure, storage, security and software segments. For solution providers already arming customers with cloud services, check to see if your partner made the cut. And for those looking to get into the cloud game, don't select a vendor without consulting this list.
