Managing EditorAlok ChaturvediSudhakar SinghEmmanuel Christi DasEditorialEditorialThe term infrastructure has been used throughout history to describe the large and complex structures of military projects, civil projects, and public utilities. The 1800s, through the 1900s coined railroad, telegraph, electrical, water/sewer, subway, and telephone communication too as infrastructure. As technology evolved from basic computing to the Internet and beyond, business operations quickly became dependent on technology. Over time, the IT infrastructure became a backbone of business. A lay man might have a different picture of enterprise IT infrastructure; painted with racks of hardware locked away in data centers and basements. But it is actually a focal point of disruption and innovation in every area, from servers and storage to networking and software. Particularly, Enterprise buyers increasingly prefer consumption-based pricing models--a phenomenon that started with software and has now moved into hardware. This shift from capital expenditures to operational expenditures helps reduce risk, frees up capital, and provides increased flexibility. From 2015 through 2016, revenues for infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) rose by 53 percent, making them the highest-growth segments in cloud and infrastructure services.Long story short, digitalization is fundamentally changing how businesses operate and thrive. Automation and cloud technologies are no longer optional but are core components of any business transformation project. As businesses reinvent and transform themselves, only the enterprises that can compete via technology innovation, acceleration, and flexibility will survive. And therefore, keeping company of an ace class infrastructure management service provider can take a business places. Besides, according to IDC, a prominent research firm, investments in infrastructure management have the largest single impact on an organization's revenue.However, the way IT infrastructures are created is continually changing. Traditional heterogeneous infrastructure development is a highly manual process that requires enormous integration, optimization and systems management efforts -- especially when integrating servers, storage, network and other components from diverse vendors. We have listed out 20 most promising IMS domain players who have taken a goliath stance to cause a paradigm shift in the way services are delivered without compromising with the quality of the same. I for one, certainly hope that these vendor companies meet you specific requirements with sheer perfection.Do let us know what you think. Emmanuel Christi DasAsst.
