Cloud Computing: Strong Growth. Alibaba Ranks as Third Largest IaaS Platform.
The top Cloud Services IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) lead comes as no surprise: Amazon AWS. Microsoft is in the second spot. But third position isn’t occupied by Google — it’s China-based Alibaba. That’s according to a report by Gartner.
The third-quarter report from Gartner on Public Cloud Services had these other findings:
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is expected to grow faster than any other cloud service at 36.6 percent annual growth
- Software as a Service (SaaS) is growing at a rate of 21 percent annually
- The total of all Cloud Services are expected to grow at a rate of 18.5 percent in 2017
Gartner noted that “SaaS revenue is expected to grow 21 percent in 2017 to reach $58.6 billion. The acceleration in SaaS adoption can be explained by providers delivering nearly all application functional extensions and add-ons as a service. This appeals to users because SaaS solutions are engineered to be more purpose-built and are delivering better business outcomes than traditional software is.”

IDC reports HPE sales have declined 16% and 18% per quarter for two consecutive quarters in 2017 while the ODM vendors have grown sales at 42% for servers and 72% for storage. ODM vendors provide compute and storage to companies like Alibaba, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook and Apple. Many companies are getting wise to OCP and the ODM vendors.
