Amazon clearly led the global market for infrastructure services from the public cloud, well ahead of Microsoft, Alibaba and Google, its most direct competitors.
Despite the problems posed by the insecurity of systems and international regulation, the public cloud continues to advance strongly. According to Gartner data published this week, the global market for infrastructure services from the public cloud grew by 31% during 2016, to total 22,100 million dollars. In 2015, this business had remained at 16,800 million dollars.
The ranking of public IaaS suppliers is clearly led by Amazon Web Services, which last year entered for this concept 9,775 million dollars and took just over 44% of the entire market. Microsoft was placed with Azure at a great distance. Specifically, the Windows company billed 1,579 million dollars, 7.1% of the total. The Chinese e-commerce Alibaba was the third supplier of the list, with a 3% share, while Google was in fourth position, with 500 million and 2.3% share.
In addition, the first four suppliers show growth above the market average. And it is that while Amazon Web Services advanced in 2016 almost 46%, Microsoft did it 61% and Alibaba more than doubled its numbers of the previous year (it grew 126%). Google, on the other hand, grew exactly one hundred percent.
"The cloud services market is growing faster than any other IT business today, and much of this momentum is detrimental to traditional deployments," says Sid Nag, analytics director at Gartner. "IaaS strong demand is also pulling the other cloud services, such as platform or software, although IaaS will remain the most dynamic segment in the next five years," adds the analyst.
