Cloud and Globalization

    Bloomberg Businessweek came up with an interesting article today called ‘Cloudy With a Chance of Globalization’.

    What attracted our editor’s attention was a chart with projections on US Sotware Market Growth for 2011-2020, where it predicts the Software as a Service to take a lion’s share of the global public cloud market.

        Interesting perspective. It was funny he mentioned Microsoft Office in a non-cloud context – yet I am investigating and deploying Office 365 at the moment – which does seem that MS has headed the sagely advice and moved their premier product to the cloud and introduced a flexible pay for seat mentality. No doubt others will follow (and probably already are) as predicted in this article where SaaS will dominate.

        When you look at the speed of roll out at companies like Group On with NetSuite, part of the argument will migrate from cost to flexibility compared to the premises based competition. The add in the relative ease of chaining cloud based applications, and the style of IT improves so dramatically that there is no way back.

        Good article, however I find that there estimation might be overly optimistic compared to say Yankee group forecast. SAAS is clearly the main market driver today, however in the future it is expected that IAAS and PAAS will exert greater influence on growth of cloud services market than suggested by the article.

        An interesting question might be, what amount of SaaS uses IaaS or PaaS behind it?

        I like the article but I see IaaS as the strongest growth segment of the cloud environment.
