IDC Cloud – An IDC Four Pillar Research Area
- Recent IDC research shows that Worldwide spending on public IT cloud services will be more than $40 billion in 2012 and is expected to approach $100 billion in 2016. Over the 2012–2016 forecast period, public IT cloud services will enjoy a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.4%, five times that of the IT industry overall, as companies build out the infrastructure needed to deliver public cloud services.
- By 2015, one of every seven dollars spent on packaged software, server, and storage offerings will be through the public cloud model.
- Other ingredients enabled by cloud - and, in turn, accelerating cloud adoption - include the expanding "species" of mobile devices, the explosion of mobile apps and Big Data tools, and the growing availability of wireless broadband.
