We have spent the last 3 months analyzing research data as the basis for a new type of EMA report that will truly help enterprises determine how to prioritize their hybrid cloud, container and DevOps investments. The report will show you where your peers are investing today and what your organization needs to do to effectively harness containers, public cloud, DevOps automation, machine learning, hyperconverged systems and numerous other critical technologies. EMA will also provide specific advice regarding which vendors you should look at closer when you are trying to solve a specific IT challenge. These vendors have received our EMA Top 3 award.
