Abstract
Introduction
The rapid pace of proliferation of the term "cloud computing" is nothing short
of astonishing. However, many doubts remain regarding the exact scope and
definition of the term or the long-term impact of the business model it
denotes.
Scope of this research
- Defines cloud computing, describes its model of operation and provides a
classification of cloud computing services.
- Considers drivers and inhibitors of cloud computing adoption in the
context of the current global recession.
- Outlines the emerging competitive landscape for cloud computing services
and related technologies.
- Recommends the stance that enterprises, technology vendors and service
providers should adopt regarding cloud computing.
Research and analysis highlights
In merely 18 months the neologism "cloud computing" has gone from obscurity to
pervasiveness. Although elusive to define, the emerging paradigm is clearly
capturing the imagination of the IT market. Datamonitor believes that the
level of interest in the alternative models of IT consumption is driven by the
ongoing commoditization of IT technology.
Datamonitor defines cloud computing as an IT consumption pattern that relies
on abstracted resources delivered as utility services. Such approach to IT
generation, delivery and deployment allows for a more efficient way to carry
out IT tasks due to the inherent benefits of services over products.
While the current global recession will accelerate take-up of cloud computing,
the nature of computing resources and a slew of migration challenges mean that
the adoption will not be universal. Nevertheless, it remains clear to
Datamonitor that the cloud computing model will play an increasingly important
role in the future.
Key reasons to purchase this research
- Gain a clear, detailed and comprehensive understanding of the emerging
cloud computing paradigm.
- Identify dominant market trends in order to evaluate opportunities created
by the shift to cloud computing.
- Optimise your cloud computing strategy to capitalize on the short, medium
and long-term opportunities cloud computing will create.

OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION TO CLOUD COMPUTING
- The term cloud computing is quickly becoming ubiquitous
- Cloud computing is a new pattern of IT consumption but it is proving
elusive to define
- (Untitled sub-section)
- Cloud computing: an IT consumption pattern based on the delivery of
commoditized resources as a service
- IT commoditization has occurred through the history of computing
- Cloud computing may resemble the mainframe era, but it is a fundamentally
different phenomenon
- Electricity provides the most powerful analogy with cloud computing
- The cloud computing taxonomy
- Software-Platform-Infrastructure (SPI) model offers the basic cloud
computing classification
- Further refinement of the SPI model should not rely on the proliferation
of ' as a Service' neologisms
- Detailed taxonomy schemas focus on segmenting the infrastructure layer
- The fabric/instance spectrum captures variations in the granularity of
computing services provision
- Do private clouds exist?
BENEFITS OF CLOUD COMPUTING
- The benefits of cloud computing are the benefits of services over products
- Cloud computing allows enterprises to focus on their core business
processes
- Cloud computing closes the gap between IT capacity and IT demand
- Variable costs and usage-based models are the principal benefits of cloud
computing pricing
INHIBITORS TO CLOUD COMPUTING ADOPTION
- Trust and migration to an unfamiliar model are the primary inhibitors to
cloud computing
- The substitution of products with external services renders the issue of
trust extremely acute
- Cloud service adoption and management challenges are currently potent
inhibitors
- (Untitled sub-section)
- Conclusion: benefits and inhibitors of the cloud computing model
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
- The roll-out of cloud infrastructures is an opportunity for commodity
hardware vendors
- Migration into the cloud will boost thin clients, netbooks and handhelds
- Cloud infrastructure services
- Online retailer Amazon.com has emerged as the early leader in
infrastructure provision
- GoGrid leads the wave of hosting providers offering instance-based cloud
computing infrastructure
- Others could offer cloud infrastructure services, but may prefer to
compete in software or platform layers
- Infrastructure management platforms have emerged as the critical part of
the cloud infrastructure stack
- Cloud platform competitive landscape is particularly vibrant
- Proprietary development platforms backed by SaaS vendors are proving
popular with ISVs and users
- Platforms supporting generic development frameworks may lend more control
to developers
- A long tail of standalone platforms relies on intuitive proprietary
development and execution environments
- SaaS vendors now feature in virtually every segment of the enterprise
application market
DATAMONITOR OPINION
- Those that manage to harness the cloud computing model stand to benefit
- Cloud computing is here to stay, albeit not as the sole model of IT
consumption
- The Global Recession will accelerate the adoption of cloud computing
- Unchecked proliferation and inadequate management of cloud computing
services can fuel the backlash
- Successful vendors will capitalize on short-term opportunities and prepare
for long-term implications
RECOMMENDATIONS
- Action points for enterprise technology vendors
- Action points for enterprise IT decision makers
