The cloud ecosystem is a complex and rapidly evolving market. Vendors describe a bewildering array of offerings as "cloud," ranging from multi-tenant cloud platforms to solutions that help you optimize your data center. As a cloud solution provider, Appirio helps enterprises navigate the cloud ecosystem every day. We'd like to help you do the same, and want to introduce you to the leaders in cloud computing.

Cloud Ecosystem

To help clear up this "cloud confusion" and provide transparency into the cloud ecosystem, we're excited to launch an online, interactive, cloud ecosystem map.

The map breaks out nearly 70 different layers of technology across applications, platforms and infrastructure. It distinguishes between offerings that are true cloud (multi-tenant, single instance) vs. those that are simply hosted by the vendor (single tenant, multi-instance) vs. those that are deployed on premise as part of a "private cloud." The map illustrates which elements are available directly vs. bundled in a solution vs. provided by a partner. The offerings of leading vendors are highlighted across the stack, as are point solutions from emerging vendors. Links are provided within the map to learn more about each offering.

Read more about the map and how it was built, read about our takeaways from the map for the CIO, or just click the map below to start navigating the cloud ecosystem:
