Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) was the first true cloud offering. The concept of outsourced infrastructure (servers, OS, storage, datacenter space, etc.) delivered via a virtualized environment was well received during the recent recession as established companies and startups alike looked for ways to cut their capex and opex expenses. Amazon Web Services’ EC2 launched a movement that has blossomed into a teeming marketplace with over 40 vendors vying for control. While Amazon maintains a lead in terms of market share, the competition (both large vendors and startups) are gunning for their share of the nascent but very promising enterprise marketplace. This report provides an overview of the IaaS marketplace, including key trends, growth drivers and inhibitors, current market size and expected growth for the next five years, as well as vendor market share. As an added feature, we have included the aggregate sizing of the IaaS-attached storage market and the total cloud revenue for the vendors included in this report.
