Public cloud provider benchmark: gridscale named Rising Star 2021 by IT analyst house ISG
High innovative strength and future-oriented portfolio
Cologne, 01 December 2021 – In its international cloud provider comparison “ISG Provider Lens”, a detailed market study on the degree of innovation and service offering of many hundred cloud providers, the well-known IT analyst firm ISG recognises the advancements of gridscale technology and names the company this
year’s “Rising Star” of the German public cloud provider landscape.
The award is given exclusively to providers whose offer and strategy address important trends and developments at an early stage and optimally map customer requirements. In the category “Hyperscale Infrastructure and Platform Services”, the market experts particularly highlight the scope of services of the gridscale IaaS/PaaS platform as well as the rapidly growing partner ecosystem consisting of a large number of European cloud service providers.
Tailor-made offers and great potential
“We see gridscale as an industry pioneer with great potential for the future,” said Wolfgang Heinhaus, ISG Lead Analyst for Germany and Switzerland, summarising this year’s Rising Star award “Because with its technology, gridscale demonstrates a keen sense of the current needs in the market and offers SMEs and IT service providers in particular a comprehensive range of services that includes managed IT infrastructures and container architectures as well as complex enterprise IT and PaaS/SaaS solutions.”
Flexible cloud platform for the hybrid cloud
In this context, the IT analysts emphasise the great flexibility of the gridscale platform and, from the customer’s point of view, the high level of data and application mobility it offers across IT operating environments: from the private cloud in the company’s own data centre to hybrid scenarios and the combination with public cloud resources from the various data centres of the gridscale partner network.
“We are very pleased and mighty proud about the recognition of our performance and strategy by ISG,” adds CEO Henrik Hasenkamp. “With gridscale, the cloud becomes a scalable and arbitrarily distributed pool of resources that our customers can use virtually according to the best-of-breed principle and depending on their respective workloads. Ease of use, a high level of service and secure, fully DSGVO-compliant IT operations are particularly valued by medium-sized companies without their own cloud expertise.”
