Intel has launched a website that matches enterprises with providers of cloud infrastructure services based on clients’ business requirements.

The Intel Cloud Finder matches security, usability, quality, availability, technology and business requirements of an enterprise with the most appropriate service by one of the providers listed on the website.

Diane Bryant, VP and general manager of Intel’s Datacenter and Connected Systems group, announced the service at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco on Tuesday.

The finder will base its recommendations on questions like: “Do you have a data center local in Europe?” If you do, you can rest assured that whatever service is recommended will meet Europe’s regulatory requirements for privacy, for example, Bryant said.

It will show you “who is going to actually meet your specific business needs,” she said.

There are currently 14 providers of cloud-based services listed on the website, including Atos, Dimension Data, Expedient, GoGrid, Savvis, Rackspace, QTS and NaviSite, among others.

Cloud is one of three areas of the market Intel expects to see tremmendous growth in the near future, Bryant said. The other two are high-performance computing and Big Data, although Cloud is the biggest of the three.

The company's data center business (the group Bryant oversees) is the only one the company said it expected to meet revenue expectations when it announced earlier this month that it was lowering its third-quarter revenue guidance. Intel attributed the lowered expectations to a weak macroeconomic climate.
