Marketwired has reported on DigitalOcean, the cloud for developers, being named one of 25 cloud vendors to watch by InformationWeek last month. Also last month, DigitalOcean was named to the first-ever Forbes 2016 Cloud 100, the definitive list of the world’s top-tier private companies leading the cloud technology revolution.
