The VAR Guy’s sister site, Talkin’ Cloud, officially unveiled the Talkin’ Cloud 50 report today. The report tracks the top 50 VARs, MSPs and channel partners working in cloud computing. This isn’t a popularity contest, folks. The Talkin’ Cloud 50 is based on real revenue and business metrics. Here’s the background.
Generally speaking, the Talkin’ Cloud 50 focuses on revenues from the cloud — areas such as SaaS, IaaS, PaaS. The revenues can come from private cloud projects, but more often (generally speaking) they involve public cloud recurring revenues from hosted email, online backup and SaaS-centric services.
In some cases we’re seeing a new breed of IT service provider emerge on the Talkin’ Cloud 50. For instance, a company like Excel Micro is a cloud distributor for Google’s security services.
