IDC's Hosting and Colocation Services examines the dynamics of the rapidly evolving hosting and datacenter/colocation services market. Managed hosting and cloud infrastructure services are converging as businesses incorporate hybrid IT architecture. Managed hosting and neutral colocation services provide a more flexible and optimization-oriented approach to the strategic and practical issues of establishing such as digital and ecommerce/web presence and leveraging distributed cloud applications. IDC's Hosting and Colocation Services explores end users' evolution from standalone hosting and toward hybrid IT environments, analyzes market trends related to hybrid cloud and multicloud access, and tracks shifts in the service provider landscape, including partnerships between "traditional" hosting providers and the hyperscale IaaS giants.
