The report, authored by Gartner Research VPs Milind Govekar, Cameron Haight and Donna Scott, highlights a select group of innovative, impactful and intriguing vendors, DynamicOps says.
According to the report, Gartner's 2011 CIO survey identified cloud computing as the top strategic technology investment for CIOs globally, with enterprises increasingly implementing private clouds and using the public cloud for additional, on-demand capacity. The report recommends users take advantage of innovations in cloud computing management to improve the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of their infrastructures; favor providers with strong partnerships with larger vendors; and evaluate vendors' go-to-market strategies as well as their technologies, says DynamicOps.
The vendor notes that enterprises are turning to its Cloud Automation Center for the flexibility and control it enables as they move to private and public clouds.
