451 Research has extensively covered service providers and their offerings even as they move further up the stack with a variety of cloud services from new and emerging technology vendors. While web hosting, operational management and application services remain popular with our clients, new kinds of 'as a Service' offerings are appearing to meet new demands. We get an increasing amount of client inquiries around managed security, cyber disaster-recovery services, managed hosting, distribution channel dynamics and more.
As private equity and venture capital investment in this space has grown, we have seen a sharp increase in client interest, as well as strategic Advisory projects with companies looking to move into managed service provision. We cover key managed services sectors via in-depth reports, encompassing supply and demand, disruptive trends and regional adoption in conjunction with our Voice of The Enterprise Hosting & Cloud Managed Services research.
