Managed Hosting Providers in Europe

Gartners Magic Quadrant

Gartner recently released their Magic Quadrant 2015 for Cloud-Enabled Manged Hosting, Europe (click here).

Here at DSP hosting and IaaS is not necessarily our core business. We provide DBA Managed Services and Data Platform Consultancy, this means we act as a client’s DBA or 3rd line Database escalation point; or provide projects to rationalise a Data Platform estate. We therefore have a close affinity to Hosting and IaaS partners and have done for over a decade.

In fact – 6 out of Europe’s TOP 15 Hosting/Cloud Providers in Gartner’s report use DSP for Data Platform Services – And when you read Gartner’s report, it becomes clear.

Gartner’s criteria for their Magic Quadrant, includes the following:

• Gartner Criteria #1: E-Business Hosting: The ability to host complex social websites, modern online applications. Often complex with a high rate of change DSP’s Value to a Hosting Partner: DSP core business of the Data Platform. Our consultants have worked on 60TB+ OTLP systems, 1200+ SQL Server sites to 600+ Oracle Instance consolidation projects. OLTP Database is core to us. Any IaaS/Hosting provider wanting to host such complex systems, needs Database expertise to implement. DSP partners with Providers to give them this expertise.
• Gartner Criteria #2: Web Based Business Application Hosting:  Delivery of web-based applications for commercial software, in-house developed applications, static and not high rate of change. DSP’s Services to Hosting Partners: Our managed DBA service integrates with our partners services for low cost Database/application maintenance. We customise the service to fit into the delivery method of the partner, ensuring a seamless service to end clients.
• Gartner Criteria #3: Enterprise Application Hosting: for infrastructure underlying large commercial software applications such as Oracle and SAP. Complex Workloads with individual requirements. DSP’s ERP Services to Hosting Partners: DSP are also a Leading Oracle E-Business Suite ERP Integrator. Via our IaaS partners, we can offer implementation, upgrades, CEMLIS, full Support and technical services for Oracle Financial, HR and other EBS modules.

If you work for an Infrastructure Provider – then DSP is the perfect partner. You get a partner based pricing, you get full DBA Managed Service ready to integrate into your hosting/cloud offerings, and you expand your portfolio to qualify to become one of the leading IaaS providers in Europe.

This is why nearly half of the Top 15 Hosting Partners in Europe chose DSP for Data Platform Services.
