"The business cloud services market ranges from mature to immature market segments. SaaS led by Salesforce.com has already achieved massive adoption and IaaS led by Amazon is attracting customers that are questioning whether owning and operating corporate data centers make sense in the age of the cloud. However, PaaS is still just emerging, as it attempts to use the successes of SaaS and IaaS to attract the attention of commercial and corporate software developers," commented Mark Levitt, Director of Business Cloud Strategies research at Strategy Analytics.
"SaaS has dominated the first surge in mass adoption of business cloud services. We expect the next big surge to come from private and public IaaS offerings designed to suit European and Asia-Pacific business and government policies," said Andrew Brown, Executive Director of Enterprise Research at Strategy Analytics.
