Bangalore: The rise in the economy and an aging server installed base and IT managers' desire for complex virtual and physical infrastructure is driving demand for both public and private cloud computing, says International Data Corporation(IDC).
IDC has predicted that server revenues for public cloud computing will grow from $582 million in 2009 to $718 million in 2014. While the private cloud market will grow from $7.3 billion to $11.8 billion in the same time period.
"Now is a great time for many IT organizations to begin seriously considering this technology and employing public and private clouds in order to simplify extensive IT environments," said Katherine Broderick, research analyst, Enterprise Platforms and Datacenter Trends.
The public cloud is open to largely unrestricted universe of potential users, not for a single enterprise designed for a market and the private cloud deployment is designed for, and access restricted to, a single enterprise, an internal shared resource, not a commercial offering; IT organization as vendor of a shared/standard service to its users. "Many vendors are strategically advancing into the private and public cloud spaces, and these players are widely varied and have differing levels of commitment," Broderick added.
