HONG KONG,Oct. 31,2022 --Tencent Cloud – the cloud business of global technology company Tencent,today announced that it has been recognized as a Niche Player in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure and Platform Services (CIPS). This is the third consecutive year for Tencent Cloud to be named in Gartner Magic Quadrant.

Gartner Magic Quadrant for CIPS evaluates vendors in infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and integrated platform as a service (PaaS) offerings. The evaluation criteria analyze the vendor's strengths and cautions in its Executive Ability – encompassing product and service,overall viability,sales execution and pricing,market responsiveness,market execution,as well as customer experience and operations; and Completeness of Vision – which considers market understanding,marketing strategy,sales strategy,offering and product strategy,business model,vertical and industry strategy,innovation,and geographic strategy.
