LONDON, Jan. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining the global market for private and hybrid cloud data center services and solutions.
Results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ report, "Private/Hybrid Cloud – Data Center Services & Solutions 2019," scheduled to be released in July.
