Cloud Adoption Is Growing But Forecasts Differ on How Much
Barb Darrow
Feb 22, 2017
Overall demand for cloud computing in all its forms will grow 18% this year to $246.8 billion in total worldwide revenue from $209.2 billion, according to a new forecast from market research firm Gartner.

The subset of services called public cloud infrastructure is expected to grow at 36.8% this year to $34.6 billion in revenue worldwide.
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS),  should grow about 20% to $46.3 billion.

IDC estimated that overall cloud services will grow 24.4% year over year to $122.5 billion with SaaS accounting for  60% of total.

To address those frustrations, between 2014 and 2016 we surveyed senior business and technology leaders in more than 50 large organizations (Most of them in Fortune 100 in Europe and North America to find out about their adoption of cloud and next-generation infrastructure.1

Despite their high-priority, highly visible, multiyear efforts to implement cloud programs, half of the participants in our survey say they have moved no more than 5 percent of their x86 processing workloads to cloud environments (private or public).

Technology experts and stakeholders say they expect they will ‘live mostly
in the cloud’ in 2020 and not on the desktop, working mostly through
cyberspace-based applications accessed through networked devices.


“By 2020, most people won't do their work with software running on a general-purpose
PC. Instead, they will work in Internet-based applications such as Google Docs, and in
applications run from smartphones.
