How the leading Infrastructure Services players are fighting for their place in the cloud market

Many areas of the traditional IT services market are either declining or growing very slowly. Meanwhile, cloud services are growing double digits. The as-a-service model is creating opportunities for enterprise and government buyers to re-think how they buy infrastructure services and from whom. However, even in two years’ time, we estimate that the total cloud market will still only account for 14% of the total SITS market. For suppliers, that means a large slice of their revenue stream will still be tied up in slow-growing (or declining) infrastructure services contracts. At the same time, they must create new offerings, redefine their positioning and adapt to a different type of commercial model.

This report looks at how the IaaS market is shaping up and the role of private cloud and orchestration. It also examines the margin challenges for suppliers and assesses the cloud offerings and relative positions of the Top 10 infrastructure services suppliers in the UK.
