(LSJ) What are Cloud infrastucture and platform services (CISP)?

Gartner’s new Magic Quadrant for Cloud infrastructure and platform services (ID G00441742. Gartner Report) updates the definition of cloud computing.

Cloud computing is a style of computing in which scalable and elastic IT-enabled capabilities are delivered as a service using internet technologies. Cloud infrastructure and platform services (CIPS) are defined as standardized, highly automated offerings, in which infrastructure resources (e.g., compute, networking and storage) are complemented by integrated platform services.

The scope of the Magic Quadrant for CIPS includes IaaS and integrated platform as a service (PaaS) platforms. These include (* are additions of editor *)

  • application PaaS (aPaaS),

  • functions as a service (FaaS),

  • database PaaS (dbPaaS),

  • Datawarehouse as a Service*

  • application developer PaaS (adPaaS) and industrialized private cloud offerings that are often deployed in enterprise data centers.

  • Cloud Integration / Cloud Deployment IaC as a Service*

  • Multi cloud management as a Service*

(LSJ) Seven critical capabilities for success of Cloud management Platform (CMP)

/

According Gartner, Cloud management platform (CMP) solutions are advisable to support the management of multi cloud deployments and avoid under management.

By 2021, 75% of organizations without Cloud Management tooling to manage their multicloud environments will spend more than they would have had they stayed on-premises, and will also lack needed policy and governance capabilities, increasing the likelihood of security and/or compliance exposures.

Gartner has identified seven capabilities critical to the success of the use cases commonly involved in this endeavor (see Note 1):

  • Provisioning and orchestration

  • Inventory and classification

  • Service requests

  • Monitoring and analytics

  • Manage costs and optimize resources

  • Cloud migration, disaster recovery (DR) and backup

  • Identity, security and compliance

The common use cases are:

  • Agile applications

  • Reliable applications

  • Lift-and-shift data center

  • Strategic DevOps transformation
