Niche Player: Interoute

Interoute dropped off the 2016 Magic Quadrant only to find its way back this year. The United Kingdom-based communication services provider offers CloudStack-based infrastructure through the Interoute Virtual Data Centre (VDC).

The cloud includes a "managed container platform" that offers a Rancher-based container management framework on top of VDC infrastructure.

"Interoute's flexible range of choices for tenancy models, hypervisors, pricing models, and support and service models provides customers with a variety of interoperable options," Gartner noted.
