1 Cloud Brokers MAKING ITAAS A PRACTICAL REALITY? This report examines what a cloud broker is, its components and functions, its role(s), its audience and how it supports the delivery of ITaaS by turning technology into service delivery. KEY FINDINGS If cloud is the on-demand version of computing, brokering is the on-demand version of IT procurement. A cloud broker is one capability of a cloud management platform (CMP). CMP suppliers are in a tricky position: They must preserve the agility and self-service model that led the business to adopt the cloud in the first place, while at the same time allowing IT to retain control. Cloud brokers business model is similar to those of traditional distributors, VARs and SIs but in the cloud world they must respond more quickly and be able to scale. Brokering is not about price, per se it s about matching workloads to the cloud to find the best performance match for those workloads. The trust that comes with branded technology is less important than getting the experience right. This market is not terribly meaningful from a revenue point of view today; however, it is very meaningful from a leadership perspective. OCT 2014
2 451 RESEARCH REPORT SNAPSHOT TITLE Cloud Brokers ANALYST RELEASE DATE October 2014 LENGTH William Fellows Research Vice President - CloudScape 30 pages ABOUT THIS REPORT As enterprise cloud adoption increases, IT departments must begin thinking more like businesses and striving to transform themselves from cost centers into IT as a service (ITaaS)-delivery organizations. Brokering is the on-demand version of IT procurement; cloud brokers can help customers use multiple cloud providers and give them freedom of choice in which service is used for what workloads. Eighteen months after our initial surveillance of the embryonic cloud broker market, it seems everyone wants in on the cloud broker game in one capacity or another. This report examines what a cloud broker is, its components and functions, its role(s), its audience and how it supports the delivery of ITaaS by turning technology into service delivery. We chart the cloud broker market, highlight firms that supply technology components and/or provide service delivery that support ITaaS, and scrutinize the diverse range of business models in play or being tested. We also identify technical, organizational and business challenges that remain unsolved or unresolvable.
