utility-style infrastructure providers

German translation: Infrastrukturanbieter im Bereich des Utility Computing

English term or phrase: utility-style infrastructure providers
Hallo,

ich habe ein großes Problem mit der Übersetzung des Begriffs "utility-style" in einem Text, in dem es um Cloud Computing geht.
Der ganze Satz lautet: "Yes, **utility-style** infrastructure providers are part of the mix, but so are SaaS (software as a service) providers such as XXX." (Vorheriger Satz: "Cloud computing is at an early stage, with a motley crew of providers large and small delivering a slew of cloud-based services, from full-blown applications to storage services to spam filtering.")
Kann mir jemand sagen, was genau diese Anbieter machen/leisten?

Vielen Dank im Voraus für die Hilfe!

wie Versorgungsunternehmen


Explanation:
Ein "utility" ist wohl im Sinne von Energiedienstleister/ (Strom)versorgungsunternehmen gemeint, im Gegensatz zu einer normalen Firma.
