Overview
Hyperscalers are large cloud service providers, that can provide services such as computing and storage at enterprise scale. While there is no universal standard for what should be classified as a hyperscaler, major cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud,Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud fit the description.
How do I choose a vendor?
If you’re just starting out on your digital transformation journey, figuring out the best path forward can be daunting. Lack of in-house resources, time, or expertise make it challenging to build effective cloud architectures from scratch, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. In fact, many of the world’s largest enterprises use hyperscalers, and often choose more than one hyperscaler to partner with based on their individual business needs. Using more than one cloud provider is known as a multicloud approach. Unifying different clouds as a single platform supports a hybrid cloud strategy–in which applications work consistently across different environments, allowing for a single computing platform to span multiple clouds.
When it comes to deciding who to partner with, cloud committed spend is something to keep in mind. "Cloud committed spend" refers to an agreement between a provider and a customer to provide a discount on cost in exchange for the customer agreeing to spend a certain amount of money within a (typically) specified period of time. Basically, it’s a bulk discount offer: the more you buy, the bigger the savings.
Cloud providers have hundreds of partners with software and services, available in cloud marketplaces, that can be purchased using committed spend. For example, if you have cloud committed spend with Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure, you can use it to pay for Red Hat® OpenShift®, Red Hat Enterprise Linux®, and Red HatAnsible® Automation Platform.
