Managing increasingly distributed IT systems presents a significant challenge for IT managers and Managed Service Providers (MSPs). As part of CRN’s Stellar Startups for this year, here are four data center technology startups, founded in 2018 or later, that solution providers should be aware of.
Center of Attention
As IT networks become more geographically dispersed, managing IT hardware, software, and services grows increasingly complex. While cloud computing has become a major part of the IT landscape, many businesses continue to operate substantial IT infrastructure within their own data centers, private clouds, and proprietary networks. This translates into sustained demand for software and tools that IT executives and MSPs require to monitor and manage hardware, applications, and, crucially, to automate relevant management tasks.
This list highlights a number of promising new companies in this space.
