Leaders Dominate Public Cloud Services Market: Top 16 Public Cloud Service Providers Account for Half of the Worldwide Public Cloud Services Revenue in 2017, According to IDC
The Worldwide Public Cloud Services market grew 29% in 2017, reaching a total of $117bn
As hyper scale vendors invest in the market with renewed vigour, the next 3 years will determine IT industry leadership for the next two decades
Much is made of #Amazon Web Services (AWS) as market leader in IaaS
While that is impressive we need to bear in mind that IaaS is 21% of the Worldwide Public #Cloud Services market, while SaaS is 64% and PaaS 15%
And as IDC points out:
"While new SaaS companies launch regularly, technology mainstays like #Salesforce, #Microsoft and #Oracle remain atop the list of SaaS providers"
So there's still plenty left to play for !
