SaaS インテグレーション・ビジネスに注目

ippei suzuki

先週のことですが、CloudNewsCenter という Twitter アカウントで大活躍中の鈴木逸平さんとお会いして、いつものようにアメリカのクラウド動向について、いろいろと教えていただきました。 この鈴木さんが、以前から注目しているのが、SaaS インテグレーション・ビジネスであり、日本でも必ず有望になると仰っています。

言われてみれば、SaaS を選ぶにしても、その選択基準は雲をつかむようなものであり、また、情報も多すぎてと、、、 悩みは尽きそもうもありません。 そこで、Gartner などは、プロバイダーとユーザーの間に入り、ソリューションを提供するクラウド・ブローカーとして、以下の 3つのカテゴリーを定義しているようです。

Cloud Service Intermediation: Building services atop an existing cloud platform, such as additional security or management capabilities.
Aggregation: Deploying customer services over multiple cloud platforms.
Cloud Service Arbitrage: Brokers supply flexibility and “opportunistic choices” – and foster competition between clouds.

これだけを読んでも、ちょっと訳がわかりませんが、Data Center Knowledge では、こうしたクラウド・ブローカーとして、以下の各社を挙げています。
