Why read this RadarView?

Enterprises are reconsidering their cloud strategies due to increasing costs, security issues, and regulatory demands. There is also a rising demand from clients to deliver robust data center infrastructure capable of supporting extensive AI workloads. To address this, service providers are implementing cloud repatriation, allowing critical workloads to be migrated from the cloud to on-premises data centers, to optimize cloud costs and enhance infrastructure control and availability. Additionally, service providers are leveraging generative AI to automate resource provisioning, predict capacity planning, and improve data center observability for organizations.

The Data Center Managed Services 2024 RadarView™ highlights key supply-side trends in the data center management space and Avasant’s viewpoint on them. It aids companies in identifying top service providers to assist them in adopting data center managed services. It also analyzes each service provider’s capabilities in technology and delivery support, enabling organizations to identify the right strategic partners for managing their data centers.
