Cloud computing is expected to grow to be a $9.4 billion market by 2015. \u00a0IDC and IDG Enterpris<\/a>e issued a report last month that provided that estimate, with about a third of the revenues going to the public cloud, and the other two thirds going towards enterprise private clouds.<\/p>\n

In terms of actual physical server boxes, IDC forecasts that the number of new public cloud servers to roll out in 2015 will reach 1.2 million. \u00a0For the private cloud, IDC is forecasting 570,000 new servers to be deployed into private clouds. \u00a0Those numbers though seem flipped, considering that the private cloud is expected to generate nearly twice as many revenues as the public one.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
IDC offers the explanation that the higher cost for private cloud servers comes about because public cloud servers tend to be simpler, off-the-shelf units that emphasize\u00a0energy efficiency, density, and cost control. \u00a0In contrast, private cloud servers typically have significantly more memory, are optimized for higher I\/O bandwidth and come with more advanced CPU capabilities.<\/div>\n

The IDC report\u00a0predicts that cloud computing will dramatically transform data centers. \u00a0IDC\u00a0suggests that to remain relevant IT vendors will need to adopt the cloud or become irrelevant. \u00a0As early as 2014, 30 percent of IT organizations will also provide cloud services. \u00a0SaaS deployments will increasingly become the norm rather than the exception, and that this shift will cause IT vendors of all types to provide cloud-based software and service options.<\/p>\n
