Description

Competition in the public cloud market has moved up-the-stack. As cloud IaaS services become increasingly commoditized, leaders in the cloud infrastructure space - including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform - are enhancing their development and delivery platforms as a way to woo the next generation of application developers, and thus ensure a steady stream of IaaS revenue from the underlying infrastructure. In doing so, they are encountering a new set of competitors: business software providers, such as Oracle and Salesforce, which are expanding the value of their own offerings with enhanced platform services. In this report, we provide an overview of key market trends in the Global Platform and Infrastructure as a Service market, and plot the top 8 leading IaaS and PaaS service providers on the radar chart based on in-depth quantitative and qualitative analysis. In our market sizing and market share estimates, Frost & Sullivan has included IaaS and PaaS services, and excluded SaaS deployment models.
