Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Enterprise Computing team said: ”IaaS-based disaster recovery enables backup and recovery of remote machines. Backup data files are stored on a cloud-based platform. Cloud-based recovery of IT infrastructure promises continuous availability of on-site infrastructure resources. It ensures that the recovery platform is in sync with the enterprise systems so that there is immediate recovery from disasters in minimal time. Therefore, the demand for backup-as-a-service is expected to contribute to the growth of the Global IaaS market during the forecast period.”
According to the report, one of the major drivers in the market is the need for cost-effective infrastructure resources. With the pay-per-use model of cloud computing, the end-users are required to pay only for the time they use the infrastructure resources. Additionally, with IaaS, the risk and resource requirements associated with the responsibility for implementation, continuous operation, backups, updates, and infrastructure maintenance of the applications are shifted from internal IT departments to IaaS vendors. Hence, the need for cost-effective infrastructure resources is encouraging organizations to adopt IaaS solutions.
Further, the report states that the increase in concerns about data security is one of the major challenges confronting the market. Many end-users are concerned about the data security policies governing the cloud-based solutions of various vendors.
The report also includes a discussion of the other vendors operating in this market. The other vendors in the market are Google Inc., Layered Technologies Inc., Media Temple Inc., NaviSite Inc., SoftLayer Technologies Inc., and SunGard Inc.
