Gartner: IaaS Public Cloud Market Continues to Consolidate

Gartner: IaaS Public Cloud Market Continues to Consolidate

The global infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) market is up by 31.3% in 2018 to reach $32.4 billion, Gartner reports, with Amazon remaining the top vendor followed by fellow industry giants Microsoft, Alibaba, Google and IBM.

"Despite strong growth across the board, the cloud market’s consolidation favors the large and dominant providers, with smaller and niche providers losing share,” the analyst says. “This is an indication that scalability matters when it comes to the public cloud IaaS business. Only those providers who invest capital expenditure in building out data centers at scale across multiple regions will succeed and continue to capture market share. Offering rich feature functionality across the cloud technology stack will be the ticket to success, as well.”

The top 5 providers account for 77% of the 2018 global IaaS market, up from 73% in 2017. Market consolidation is only to continue further in 2019, the result of the high growth rate for the top providers bringing aggregate growth of 39% from 2017 to 2018. In comparison, all other providers bring far more modest 11% growth for the same period.

IDC Profiles the Top Managed Cloud Service Providers

IDC publishes a profile of 10 global managed cloud services providers-- namely Accenture, Atos, Cognizant, DXC, HCL, IBM, NTT DATA, Rackspace, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Wipro.

As the analyst puts it, managed cloud services are a primary means for enterprises to get critical support from 3rd party managed service providers (SPs) to help manage cloud environments. The enterprise need to utlise managed services to meet critical requirements, such as more agility and/or speed from IT, increasing revenue to build revenue-generating products and services faster, and simplifying and standardising infrastructure and application platforms, drive such needs.

Furthermore, in gaining the business and technical benefits of managed cloud services enterprises are using managed SPs to transform IT into a set of cloud-based capabilities demanding supporting areas, such as application portfolio rationalisation and modernisation, expertise with public cloud services providers, and legacy application technology expertise. However enterprises point out challenges in using managed cloud services in some key areas, and express concerns cloud cannot support the operational/performance requirements of critical applications.
