DIMENSION DATA POSITIONED AS A CHALLENGER IN GARTNER'S 2015 MAGIC QUADRANT FOR CLOUD-ENABLED MANAGED HOSTING, ASIA PACIFIC
Dimension Data, the global ICT solutions and services provider, today announced it has
been positioned by Gartner Inc. in the Challengers quadrant of the 2015 Magic Quadrant for Cloud-
Enabled Managed Hosting (CEMH), Asia Pacific. Gartner published the report on 11 November 2015,
by analysts To Chee Eng, Kenshi Tazaki, Vincent Fu and Arup Roy.
Gartner defines CEMH as standardised, productised hosting offerings that combine a cloud-enabled system infrastructure (CESI) platform comprising compute, network and storage hardware with cloud management platform software to facilitate self-service and rapid provisioning with managed
services. The infrastructure platform may be located in a service provider's data centre, or optionally at the customer's data centre.
In its 2015 report, Gartner observed that "an increasing number of enterprises are adopting CEMHs
due to easier availability of services. Adoption is led by developed markets such as Japan, Australia,
Singapore and Hong Kong, but it is also emerging in developing markets, particularly in India where
there is a choice of strong local providers. Initial adoption is led by midmarket companies, but it is
now extending to enterprises and government organizations as well."
Gartner's evaluation criteria for the Magic Quadrant are based on CEMH providers' ability to execute and completeness of vision. The report is aimed at businesses operating in Asia Pacific, including multinational companies with regional hosting requirements and Asia Pacific businesses with
domestic hosting requirements.
