IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Private Cloud Infrastructure Software Platforms 2026–2027 Vendor Assessment

Shahin Hashim, Phil Goodwin — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC study presents a worldwide assessment of private cloud infrastructure software platform providers through the IDC MarketScape model. It evaluates thirteen vendors (Broadcom, Canonical, HPE, IDT System, Mirantis, Nutanix, OpenNebula, Platform9, Red Hat, Sangfor, SUSE, VergeIO, and Virtuozzo) against a structured framework of capability and strategy criteria, drawing on vendor briefings, product documentation, a customer reference survey, and independent IDC research. Private cloud infrastructure software has moved from a stable, mature layer of the datacenter into one of the most actively contested decisions in enterprise IT. Three converging pressures are reshaping it: the disruption of the incumbent virtualization stack, the arrival of AI as an on-premises and increasingly sovereign workload, and a sharpened focus on data sovereignty and cost. The market is now bifurcated between broad full-stack providers and focused challenger platforms, and the historical line between virtualization and container platforms is blurring. This study is intended to help infrastructure and platform engineering leaders match a platform to their own workload profile, migration realities, sovereignty and certification requirements, and multiyear modernization plans, rather than default to a reflexive renewal.

"Private cloud infrastructure software is no longer a settled market. A forced migration away from the dominant incumbent, the pull of on-premises and sovereign AI, and renewed pressure on cost and control have turned the platform choice into a multiyear strategic decision, and buyers are rewarding vendors that deliver on their commitments over those with the longest feature list," says Shahin Hashim, associate research director, Storage and Data Management, Enterprise Infrastructure, IDC.

IDC MarketScape: Japan Security Consulting Services 2026 Vendor Assessment

Yoriyuki Yamashita — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

本調査レポートは、国内セキュリティコンサルティングサービス市場における主要ベンダーに対して、IDC MarketScapeモデルに基づいて「戦略」および「能力」の評価を行い、その分析結果を報告するものである。

国内市場のベンダーは、ビジネスコンサルティングに源流を持つ「コンサルティングファーム型」と、システム構築に源流を持つ「SIer（Systems Integrator）型」に大別でき、ユーザー企業が前工程のみを求めるのか、後工程まで一貫した支援を求めるのかによって、最適なベンダーは異なる。また、フロンティアAIの登場を背景に、パッチ対応の優先順位づけや脆弱性検査におけるAIの活用が広がっており、サービスの自動化、高度化の度合いも、ベンダー選定における重要な要素となっている。

「フロンティアAIをはじめとする高機能AIの登場によって、セキュリティコンサルティングは、文書による助言から、AIを用いた自動化や、顧客環境で稼働するAIエージェントの提供へと広がりはじめている。ユーザー企業は、ベンダーのAI活用の度合いを評価すると同時に、AIが蓄積する学習成果や判断の基準が、ベンダー側に偏らないよう、契約や運用の段階から確認しておくことが重要である」と、IDC Japan、Network & Securityのリサーチマネージャーである山下頼行は述べている。
