Market research firm Gartner projects that by 2020, #cloudcomputing will be a $383 billion market. This year, it is expected to grow by 18 percent and it is no wonder cloud players are aggressively making their moves to claim bigger slices of the burgeoning industry.
Amazon Web Services ( #AWS ) is currently the public cloud market leader with #Microsoft #Azure and #Google Cloud Platform at second and third, respectively. According to a study by the Synergy Research Group, AWS maintained its hold of 40 percent of the market despite displaying no year-on-year growth. Combined, the next top players, Microsoft, Google, and #IBM combine for 23 percent showing a 5 percent growth over the year.
Google faces a demanding task overtaking Microsoft for the second spot, more so catching up to Amazon. But it is not just the top contenders Google has to compete against. The rest of the pack is comprised of veteran IT infrastructure providers and agile startups are keen to compete. Enterprise computing mainstays IBM and Oracle are also shoring up their cloud capacities despite trailing Google.
