Description

Managed Cloud Services: Architecting the Optimal Hybrid Cloud

This IDC Market Perspective provides insight into the value enterprises place on using private and public clouds as part of hybrid cloud engagements involving managed cloud services. This document also provides a strategy for managed service providers (SPs) in creating an optimal model for a hybrid cloud that can support critical customer requirements in utilizing managed cloud services."The combination of enterprises utilizing hybrid clouds to meet an array of business and IT needs as part of managed cloud services and increased competitive pressures from cloud SPs' ability to provision their own hybrid clouds is placing pressure on managed SPs to deliver an optimized hybrid cloud set of capabilities," says David Tapper, program VP, Outsourcing and Managed Cloud Services at IDC. "Optimizing opportunities with managed cloud services in support of hybrid clouds will require managed SPs to create a unique value proposition that emphasizes an end-to-end, pay-as-you-go hybrid cloud service supporting data sovereignty, the move to opex, and agility to repatriate from public clouds; build a delivery infrastructure for the private cloud portion of hybrid cloud by creating a private landing zone structure that mirrors that of public clouds in provisioning a pool of common private cloud infrastructure; ensure operational excellence of hybrid clouds through the deployment of a business operations center and a multicloud management platform that provide an "air traffic" control set of capabilities; establish critical partnerships involving public cloud providers, OEMs, and colocation (hosting) providers; and enable the use of key technologies such as IoT, 5G, and edge computing as part of hybrid clouds.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
