As organizations of all sizes make their move to the cloud, they are looking for ways to gain control over the chaos of ad hoc, unplanned and unmanaged adoption of cloud services. No single path is right for every company, and thus a growing assortment of services is emerging to suit every use case. These range from direct peering to one-stop shops that offer it all (which is great as long as you like their flavor) to cloud services brokerages offering migration to specific cloud apps to colo and hosting providers creating cloud exchanges or marketplaces where users can connect directly to best-of-breed cloud services all within the same data center.
