Gartner Analysts Examine Key Cloud Computing Trends during Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2016, November 15-18, in Goa
The public cloud
services market in India is on pace to grow 35.9 percent in 2016 to
total $1.3 billion, according to Gartner, Inc. The highest growth will come from
cloud system
infrastructure services (infrastructure as a service [IaaS]), which
is projected to grow 45.5 percent in 2016, followed by platform as a service
(PaaS) projected to grow 33.5 percent (see Table 1).
"The overall global public
cloud market will mature, and its growth rate will slightly slow down from 17.2
percent in 2016 to a 15.2 percent increase in 2020," said Sid Nag,
research director at Gartner. "While Brexit and other growth challenges
exist, some segments such as financial SaaS applications and the PaaS user
markets will still see strong growth through 2020."

"As buyers intensify and
increase IaaS activity, they will be getting more for their investment: ongoing
enhancement of performance, more memory, more storage for the same money (which
will drive increases in consumptions) and increased automation in traditional
IT outsourcing (ITO) delivery," said Mr. Nag.
"As PaaS offerings mature and
the competitive landscapes consolidates, we predict that more organizations
will consider expanding their PaaS adoption as an important component to their
cloud strategy, and specifically to their SaaS deployments," added Mr.
Nag.
