© Reuters.  Gartner's IaaS Magic Quadrant includes Alibaba, IBM
  • ZDNet has the new Gartner Magic Quadrant for cloud-based infrastructure as a service or IaaS companies. The research firm's famous Quadrants offer a visual guide to ranking the best companies in a particular field.
  • The IaaS field is unsurprisingly led by Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Web Services and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Azure with Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) trailing slightly behind in third.
  • Towards the middle of the pack but coming towards the front are Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) and IBM (NYSE:IBM), though Gartner had markedly different opinions on those products.
  • "The IBM Cloud experience is currently disjointed," Gartner writes, noting that the company hasn't updated its SoftLayer infrastructure since its purchase two years ago.
  • Gartner was favorable on Alibaba Cloud's potential in China but said the service was unproven outside of the Chinese market.
