Tencent Cloud is a Niche Player in this Magic Quadrant. Tencent sets itself apart by prioritizing cloud-native services that not only support its commercial cloud business but also cater to other business groups within its parent company Tencent Holdings.

Gartner defines strategic cloud platform services (SCPS) as standardized, automated, public cloud offerings integrating infrastructure services (e.g., computing, network and storage), platform services (e.g., application, data and value-added services such as AI/ML) and transformation services (resources to help customers adopt cloud-oriented IT delivery models). Although owned by the service provider, infrastructure and platform services may be hosted in providers’ infrastructures or customers’ data centers. Services should be elastically scalable, metered by use, and consumable via web-based interfaces and programmable APIs. Transformation programs may be delivered by automated, selfservice interfaces, and managed interactions facilitated
