What are hyperscaler cloud service providers, and why do they matter?
Hyperscaler cloud service providers bring global business solutions outsourcing and consulting capabilities to support and enable organizations to migrate, adopt, and build cloud-native offerings. These providers leverage their cloud professionals’ experience and talent to consult on platform re architecture, application development, data migration, and transitioning services from technology stacks into macro and microservices hosted in a data center on-premise, private cloud, public cloud (hyperscale), or any combination.
Why is it important for companies to consider hyperscale cloud service providers now?
With an infinite increase of data, applications, connections, and workloads taxing an organization’s ability to adapt and develop to new platforms, DevOps, testing, security, and governance requirements are hamstringing innovation, processes, and go-to-market efforts. As a result, organizations are working with partners to transition storage, computing, back-up, and hosting services to cloud-based platforms to leverage the scale and compute power they can provide.
Hyperscale cloud service providers can help organizations in their adoption of cloud-native programs by:
- Supporting a mass migration to the cloud: The pandemic prompted enterprises to adopt public cloud services en masse, and we expect cloud services to be a priority for organizations—regardless of size—over the next decade as organizations desire to deliver end-to-end solutions using a combination of on-premise, hybrid, or public cloud platforms. Hyperscale cloud service providers bring experience with platform re-architecture using the latest Kubernetes, containers, and automated systems migration. They leverage partnerships with hyperscalers to choose the best fit for a purpose based on workload specifications, and they can offer industry-specific consulting on best practices to address internal and external governance, risk, and compliance requirements.
- Providing cloud migration value streams: Organizations have moved from developing in the cloud and subscribing to SaaS (software as a service) solutions to migrating their monolithic application stacks to hybrid and public clouds. This migration has revealed the vast amount of technology debt many have accumulated; thus, organizations are prioritizing services providers that demonstrate the capabilities to hasten the discovery, assessment, migration, automation, management, and governance of applications and processes and effectively move them to a hybrid or fully cloud-based platform.
- Addressing the war for talent : Cloud-native strategies have led to a talent war for hyperscaler services. New architecture, applications, and tools for leading cloud providers like Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud mean that service providers can augment their customers’ skills. The flurry of acquisitions that began in late 2020 has continued into 2021, and we expect it to continue as customer demand for service providers’ support will likely outstrip supply by mid-2021.
