Public Cloud Infrastructure Managed Service Providers

Gartner's Magic Quadrant graphic plots the vendors based on completeness of their vision and ability to execute. “a public cloud infrastructure managed service provider (MSP), in the context of this Magic Quadrant, is an MSP that offers managed services and professional services related to infrastructure and platform operations for one or more hyperscale integrated infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS)+platform-as-a-service (PaaS) providers”. Gartner's categorization of Managed Service Providers (MSP) for public clouds for 2018:

Leaders section contains the vendors that Gartner believes have a track record of successful delivery of high-quality managed services that utilize the capabilities of the cloud platform.

Challengers section consists of vendors that have a strong track record but might not be able to evolve quickly enough to expand beyond their primary geography or use-case focus.

Gartner sees Visionaries as vendors who are well positioned for the future. However, they don’t currently have a strong track record of success over a multiyear period.

Gartner defines Niche Players as vendors who are not well-positioned to achieve broad success in the near future.

IT Pro Today has its own assessment of  Top 10 Public Cloud Migration Services Providers. It reports despite employing more than 47,000 cloud professionals around the world, Accenture relies heavily on tools that automate the cloud migration process - apparently 75 percent of migrations are completed through automated tool sets. Accenture has been on a cloud migration journey of its own, already having moved about 85 percent of its infrastructure to the cloud as of March.
