Small businesses and the future of the cloud

Pay attention to what the MDGs are used and see what is implemented.



Cloud computing, while a hot topic is still a minor and uses a small percentage of overall IT spending.

So there is tremendous room for growth and it is likely that within 10 years, the top 10 players may not be the same as today. Business executives and technology mini can expect strong growth in the sector, with income New constantly popping up and service provider clouds older (CSPs) mature, the combination and / or stopping operations if they fail to remain competitive this.

Top Cloud

Top cloud today, Amazon Web Services, generated 7.88 $ billion in revenue. They are the monkeys 800 lb. In the current market, with Google, IBM and Microsoft have been working very hard to catch up.

These four top players, who control 54 percent of the market in 201 5 with about $ 20 billion in total revenue.

However, there is one caveat: no one of the company reported income from their cloud the same way, so it's hard to really determine actual cloud services revenue, compared with other products and services from the cloud. However, total market revenues are less than the annual income of any of these vendors and a small part of the IT market in 5 201 $ 3.5 trillion.

Clouds trend

By offering (SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, etc.) and by public, private or hybrid cloud - there are two ways to slice the cloud market. In between small businesses, the majority of companies have deployed the cloud, hybrid cloud, or simply to the public. Very few private clouds.

This trend is expected to be on time with a number of private clouds dropped. In the large enterprise space, there are many existing cloud private. Many analysts project that this will decline over time, but there are a number of variables that can prevent this from happening. However, it is the public sector cloud SMB Most executives think about when asked about the trend - so that will be our focus.

The market received the most

The market, which gets most of the newspaper's infrastructure services (IaaS) and software with a service (PaaS) cloud. These are the people who are covered by the top four players. But the market as a percentage of the cloud, they represent less than 50 percent of the market.

In addition, the growth of the sector, IaaS and PaaS will be less than half the SaaS (software services).

So as we look out over the next decade, SaaS can be extended to 75 percent of the market.

The company Amazon, IBM, VMware, Google, and Dell EMC

In between the public cloud is not SaaS highly unlikely that the top four players will work on these holes growing market.

Amazon is very customer focused and works closely with customers to make sure they still have the vendor of choice for the service they provide. It will be very difficult for the competition to pull it from its top perch. Microsoft is betting it can get all of its customers to change the model acquisition program on the site into a model using public clouds.

This strategy is working and that the company could be expected to provide numerous tools and methods combined (with the acquisition) to keep winning on the conversion to sample the Cloud's own. Google is still new but is now heavily focused on success in the business.

This makes Google the odds to stay in the top flight. IBM hopes to use its customer base and deep knowledge of enterprise awareness and to become one of the top three on time. Meanwhile, it is initiating a strategic one of Big Blue, and it is beginning to show signs of working.

One can add VMware to the mix as it seeks to transform itself from just a virtual player to go in the clouds. It was the beginning of its success decent but can be reduced by the planned purchase of EMC's it into the Dell.
