Hosting Infrastructure Services

Cloud hosting infrastructure services: These services combine the use of multitenant (shared) resources, radically simplified packaging, self-service provisioning, highly elastic and granular scaling, flexible pricing (often pay per use/pay as you go), and broad leverage of internet standard technologies to make offerings dramatically easier, cheaper, and better to consume. The “”cloud”” segmentation of the HIS market covers services offered by third-party providers such as hosted private/dedicated cloud and managed public cloud.
Colocation: This subsegment covers commercial/retail colocation services where the service provider offers colocation services and related datacenter management systems. Colocation services are defined as a customer’s use of a third party’s datacenter facilities (i.e., physical floor/cage/rack space, network capacity, and HVAC/power infrastructure) in which the customer operates its own servers/storage systems, network equipment, and other types of infrastructure.
