Roy Illsley, Ovum's Principal Analyst, Infrastructure Solutions, published two papers on ActivePlatform. "The key is for the cloud provider to make the marketplace available, and to ensure its administration and integration is as frictionless as possible. ActivePlatform has developed a platform with a cloud provider-facing marketplace and a customer-facing storefront that is designed to meet these needs," says Roy Illsley.
