siliconindia | | May 20174Given the vital role that IT plays in today's business environment, cloud computing is fundamentally changing the way that companies operate. Tens of thousands of companies of all sizes in a broad range of industries are utilizing cloud-based software, platforms, and even infrastructure to streamline processes, lower IT complexity, gain better visibility, and reduce costs. Cloud computing has helped many enterprises transform themselves over the last five years, but experts agree that the market is entering something of a second wave, both for public cloud and private cloud services built and hosted in corporate data centers. The cloud market will accelerate faster in 2017 as enterprises seek to gain efficiencies as they scale their compute resources to better serve customers, says Forrester Research in a new report. Today, a lot of companies already use cloud-based applications, and many of those companies plan to expand their use of cloud computing. The global public cloud market will top $146 billion in 2017, up from just $87 billion in 2015 and is growing at a 22 percent compound annual growth rate. The lion's share of this growth will come from Amazon.com, Microsoft, Google and IBM, which have emerged as "mega-cloud providers". They are opening new data centers and making concessions, such as Microsoft's agreement to have T-Systems manage its cloud in Germany to meet data localization requirements. But the big players won't be able to service every unique request, which means smaller regional players will see an uptick in adoption in 2017. In this issue, SiliconIndia presents to you 10 Most Promising Cloud Solution Providers who have successfully helped organizations with their innovative offerings. These companies pride themselves on keeping pace with the latest technological advancements cloud computing. We hope this issue gives you helpful insight into this market landscape.
