salesforce.com is leading the PaaS market with 21 percent market share.
Managed hosting and colocation are very fragmented markets with a multitude of service providers.
Rackspace is leading the managed hosting market.
Telcos and IT service providers — Verizon, NTT, British Telecom, IBM, France Telecom-Orange, SingTel and China Telecom — have insignificant market share.
Equinix is leading in colocation with 11 percent market share.
Akamai and Level 3 lead the charge in CDN/ADN, together accounting for 44 percent of the total market.
Synergy Research Group said service provider revenues from IaaS and PaaS topped $2.75 billion in the first half of the year, up 65 percent from the same period last year.
IaaS and PaaS share of the total infrastructure market has grown from 6 percent in late 2010 to 12 percent currently (the total market comprising managed hosting, colocation, CDN/ADN, IaaS and PaaS). There is enormous potential for future IaaS growth as the managed hosting services market migrates to cloud-based service offerings.
“We are in the early days of a profound shift in the data center market towards cloud infrastructure services, which presents extremely exciting growth opportunities for emerging cloud providers and traditional service providers the world over,” says Jeremy Duke, Synergy Research Group’s founder and chief analyst.
