Gartner evaluated the 20 leading companies who are delivering the best data center managed services in North America providing data center outsourcing (DCO), hybrid infrastructure managed services (HIMS), private cloud managed services, mainframe services, ERP hosting managed services, cloud migration services, remote infrastructure management, data center transformation services and edge data center services.
The research firm collected more than 500 data points per provider and received over 150 references from North American customers to create this Magic Quadrant.
Gartner's Magic Quadrant ranks vendors on their ability to execute and completeness of vision and places them in four categories: Niche Players (low on vision and execution), Visionaries (good vision but low execution), Challengers (good execution but low vision) and Leaders (excelling in both vision and execution). For this particular quadrant, there were no companies listed in the 'Visionaries' category.
Here are the 20 vendors that made Gartner's 2018 Data Center Outsourcing and Hybrid Infrastructure Managed Magic Quadrant in North America, along with assessments of each company's strengths and weaknesses in the space.
