TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the SMB Cloud Market in the APAC Region: Amazon.com Inc., Google Inc., IBM Corp., Microsoft Corp., Rackspace Hosting Inc., Salesforce.com Inc., Fujitsu Ltd., Huawei, and Verizon Communications Inc.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Data Center team said: ”In recent times, there has been an increasing demand for public cloud services in various enterprises across the APAC region, following the rapid evolution of cloud computing and cloud-based services. SMBs are the major adopters of public cloud services as they do not have the required capital infrastructure to set up their own private cloud infrastructure. The increasing demand for public cloud services is resulting in the establishment of a number of data centers that cater to the cloud computing requirements of enterprises. The enterprises procuring these services are liable to pay the vendors for the period during which they utilize cloud services. Thus, the increasing demand for public cloud services is an emerging trend that is expected to drive the growth of the SMB Cloud market in the APAC region during the forecast period.”
According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the drastic reduction in costs for enterprises adopting cloud-based services. SMBs are increasingly adopting cloud-based services due to their low-cost application delivery model. Thus, the adoption of cloud-based services and solutions helps SMBs reduce their capital and operational expenditure as compared to the internal provisioning of solutions and infrastructure.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the data security in the cloud infrastructure. SMBs are very much concerned about the security and availability of the data as and when accessed by end-users. Moreover, SMBs are demanding for security and data backup measures to be incorporated as a part of the business solutions being delivered over the cloud infrastructure.
The report also includes a discussion of the other vendors operating in this market. The other vendors in the market are as EMC Corp., VMware Inc., and Citrix Systems Inc.
