Introduction:
Recently, Gartner officially released the Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure report, with 9 vendors recognized worldwide. Alibaba Cloud has been positioned into the Niche Players Quadrant.
Alibaba Cloud has a wide range of distributed hybrid infrastructure product solutions. Alibaba Cloud Apsara Stack, ENS, CloudBox and other products have excellent performance in products and markets.
Gartner defines distributed hybrid infrastructure as offerings that deliver cloud-native attributes, which can be deployed and operated where the customer prefers. This is a key distinction to public cloud IaaS, which is based on a centralized approach. Offerings are software and/or integrated hardware with a unified control plane. Distributed hybrid infrastructure provides the foundation for the deployment of applications in a distributed manner that retains a cloud or cloud-inspired approach. In doing so, it improves agility and flexibility for the workloads outside of public cloud infrastructure.
