As the presence of public cloud providers in the hosted service market increases, hosters face a survival challenge: modernize and differentiate, or fade away. Hosters not utilizing a hybrid (off-premises, on-premises and public) cloud solution will be left with an old, less profitable business model and face commodification by public cloud providers. Continued growth in the hybrid cloud age depends on delivering new services and experiences to new customer audiences—and doing so at a new level of quality using highly scalable processes to support an ever-lower price point.
But growth and differentiation are only as good as the technology hosters use to manage these new services and processes. A modern, future-ready hoster management platform must be multitenant-ready, appaware, self-service, and fully scalable and automatable across all layers of the hosting stack.
By delivering unified management for Cloud OS, System Center is the required cloud ingredient to efficiently deliver new value to customers. To help your partners understand how System Center can play a role in the future of their business, familiarize yourself with the following six hosting scenarios:
- Rich and Consistent Tenant Manageability with WAP

- Complete SaaS Manageability
- Unified Management for IaaS offerings
- Re-Platforming for TCO Savings
