NetEnrich in Gartner Hype Cycle for Hybrid Infrastructure Services

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Oct. 9, 2017 - PRLog -- NetEnrich was featured alongside Accenture, BT Global Services, Fujitsu, and Tata Consultancy Services for providing transformational benefits, with outcome-based services, in the recent Gartner Report on Hype Cycle for Infrastructure Services.

The 2017 Hype Cycle for Hybrid Infrastructure Services provides organizations with a comprehensive time horizon of how infrastructure services are positioned in market hype, service maturity and market penetration, enabling them to review the benefits and opportunities infrastructure services offer against the risks they pose. Formerly the Hype Cycle for Infrastructure Services, in 2017 the Hype Cycle has been renamed Hype Cycle for Hybrid Infrastructure Services to showcase the focus on hybrid IT, as organizations leverage internal resources in parallel with external resources, in particular cloud.

The main takeaways from the Hype Cycle are:

Hybrid architectures will be the primary mode of service delivery: For the foreseeable future, services such as Hybrid Cloud Computing and Cloud Service Brokerage will become increasingly important. This enables buyers to migrate workloads and transform their infrastructure at their pace and on their terms.

Digital business is everywhere: To ease the move into digital, new consulting services and platforms are now approaching the Peak of Inflated Expectations, with businesses expecting much from these services.

Internet of Things has high or transformational benefits to enterprises: Innovation Triggers on the Hype Cycle include IoT Services, IoT Platform, IoT Networking, IoT Business Solutions, and IoT Enabled Product as a Service. These will transform the way service providers deliver.

Intelligent automation services have high or transformational benefits to enterprises:  Services such as Intelligent Automation for Infrastructure Managed Services and Intelligent Automation Next-Generation Services are now starting to move up the Hype Cycle.

Outcome-based service contracting is becoming the expectation: Outcome-Based Service Contracting is at the Peak of Inflated Expectations and is five to 10 years from mainstream. Many service contracts are based on SLAs, where true Outcome-Based Service Contract outcomes are directly tied to real business metrics, enabled by digital business/IoT.

Cloud infrastructure services are rapidly maturing in hybrid environments: Services such as Cloud Service Brokerage, Hybrid Cloud Computing, Private Cloud Computing and Public Cloud Storage are viewed as disruptive to traditional outsourcing services and are gaining traction at a fast pace. Yet, they are at different stages of maturity. Most are in the Trough of Disillusionment or Slope of Enlightenment.

All of the cloud services on this Gartner Hype Cycle (https://www.gartner.com/doc/3771868/hype-cycle-hybrid-inf...) are two to five years from mainstream adoption, with the exception of Private Cloud Computing and Disaster Recovery as a Service, which are both less than two years to mainstream adoption.
