“The increase in SaaS and PaaS are indicators that migration of application and workloads from on premises data centers to the cloud, as well as development of cloud ready and cloud native applications, are fueling growth in the cloud space,” said Sid Nag, research director at Gartner. “Software vendors will continue to shift investments from on-premises license-based software to cloud-based offerings.”
On a related note, Gartner also said separately that India’s public cloud services market will grow 38% in 2017 to total $1.81 billion.
The highest growth there will continue to be driven by infrastructure as a service (IaaS) which is projected to grow at 49.2 percent in 2017, followed by 33 percent in SaaS and 32.1% in PaaS. The increase of SaaS and PaaS are indicators that the migration of application and workloads from on premises data centers to the cloud, as well as the development of cloud ready and cloud native applications, are fueling the growth in the cloud space.
