MARKET SUMMARY

1.1 Definition and scope of the study

Cloud computing is a service that refers to the remote exploitation of the storage and/or computing power of computer servers. Cloud computing is characterized by its flexibility of use, enabling even the most skilled users to manage the server themselves, or to concentrate exclusively on developing and operating server-based applications. These services can be provided either by shared servers (public cloud), or by servers strictly dedicated to a customer (private cloud)

The main cloud computing services can be classified into the following three sub-segments

  • SaaS (Software as a Service),

  • PaaS (Platform as a Service)

  • IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)

The rise of cloud computing is part of a movement to concentrate and collect IT services and data, with the aim of improving business efficiency through cost reduction and automation.

The global cloud computing market, dominated by the USA, is growing by leaps and bounds. Recently, the market has been driven in particular by the dynamism of PaaS and IaaS services, but SaaS still dominates.

The French market is more immature than that of its European neighbors, but remains extremely dynamic. As with the global outlook, SaaS dominates the French market (around 50% of sales), although growth in the PaaS and IaaS segments is expected to quickly reach similar levels of usage and revenue.

Finally, in this study, global data and statistics are often extrapolated to France, as the national cloud computing market is highly insignificant. Indeed, global giants such as Google, Amazon and Microsoft dominate this playing field, and their actions therefore apply to any geographic market.
