This slipped by me, but looks like GoGrid made the famous Gartner ‘magic quadrant’ for Web Hosting and Hosted Cloud Infrastructure Services (On Demand).[1] You can see the quadrant here to the right.
It’s great that GoGrid is listed in the visionary quadrant. When I joined GoGrid in the office of the CTO, one of my explicit goals was to increase the view of GoGrid as a thought leader and visionary in the cloud computing space. It gratifies me to see the recognition by Gartner.
For those of you who may have missed it, I left GoGrid recently and am currently an independent Cloud Strategist.
At the moment my client list is short, but impressive:
- VMware (#1 Virtualization system; working with their new Cloud business unit)
- GoGrid / ServePath (#2 or #3 IaaS provider in U.S. depending on how you count)
- EngineYard (#1 Ruby on Rails PaaS provider)
- Cloud Central (first IaaS provider in Australia; pre-launch)
Find out how I can help you with your cloud strategy in my one page briefing (PDF).
[1] That’s a mouthful. Not sure what’s wrong with ‘public’ or ‘external’ infrastructure cloud.
