Skytap

CEO: Thor Culverhouse

This independent Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider based in Seattle cracked the all-important Gartner Magic Quadrant in 2017. Gartner called attention to Skytap having carved out a niche with a differentiated offering focused on modeling complex enterprise environments, especially those with complicated network configurations. The cloud provider also simplifies the process of replicating enterprise environments in sandboxes for development, demos and training while production workloads remain on-premise.
