Gartner defines the data center outsourcing (DCO) services market as a comprehensive suite of services that support deployment, consolidation, optimization, modernization and managed services. These services primarily cater to data centers, private clouds, edge computing, ERP hosting, mainframes or legacy systems, midrange systems, infrastructure modernization, network and security.
According to Gartner, “Leaders perform skillfully. They have a clear vision of the market’s direction (digital transformation, cloud-first, intelligent automation, agile operations, and their own ecosystem) and develop competencies to maintain their leadership. They shape the market rather than follow it.”
