Hosted Private Cloud Market will Reach $39B in 2019

The leading public cloud computing service providers will gain the lion's share of all cloud-related revenue, but there are still market development opportunities for hybrid scenarios -- where combinations of public and private cloud can be justified.

The hosted private cloud market will continue to grow at a low-double-digit CAGR through 2019, reaching $39 billion, according to the latest worldwide market study by Technology Business Research (TBR).

Widespread enterprise adoption of cloud solutions will drive steady revenue growth for vendors across all cloud computing segments -- particularly for hosted private cloud vendors that offer the flexibility of public clouds with the added layer of implied security from a hosted private cloud.

"Security is a driver and a barrier of hosted private cloud adoption and will greatly affect the private cloud landscape through 2019," said Cassandra Mooshian, cloud analyst at TBR.

TBR believes that the best case scenario for hosted private cloud vendors is that customers favor the added security benefits of a hosted private cloud environment over a public cloud environment.

The worst case is yet another large-scale security breach that compounds lingering security concerns and leads to a halt in cloud computing adoption. That's unlikely, given that most reported breaches are the result of traditional enterprise IT security failures.

According to the TBR assessment, the mix of IaaS to SaaS in hosted private cloud being weighted more heavily to IaaS suggests enterprises are bringing their own software application licenses to vendor IaaS solutions.

This indicates an opportunity for some vendors to capitalize on by bringing traditional software to cloud environments for their enterprise customers that are not ready to restructure their software consumption patterns but want to exploit cloud economics to reduce costs.

Data center hosting experts, such as IBM, could benefit from this added hosting opportunity, while it may be more difficult for legacy software providers, such as Oracle, to transition their software licenses to subscriptions in private cloud scenarios.

That being said, the throng of me-too vendors that are already offering OpenStack infrastructure platforms must find a way to differentiate their product. Today, that value-add typically means providing professional services to help overcome the known inherent complexity in these IaaS software deployment projects.

Industrial Cloud Computing Apps Gain Momentum

In the manufacturing industry, cloud computing can help leaders improve their production efficiency by providing them with real-time data about their operations. This has gained the attention of the C-suite. Total forecast Industrial Cloud platform revenue in manufacturing will surpass $300 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 22.57 percent, driven by solution providers enhancing platform interoperability while expanding partner ecosystems for application development. ABI Research found the cloud computing manufacturing market will grow over the next decade due to the adoption of new architectural frameworks that enhance data extraction and interoperability for manufacturers looking to maximize utility from their data. Industrial Cloud Computing Market Development "Historically, manufacturers have built out their infrastructure to include expensive data housing in the form of on-premises servers. The large initial upfront cost of purchasing, setting up, and maintaining these servers is

Demand for Quantum Computing as a Service

The enterprise demand for quantum computing is still in its early stages, growing slowly. As the technology becomes more usable, we may see demand evolve beyond scientific applications. The global quantum computing market is forecast to grow from $1.1 billion in 2022 to $7.6 billion in 2027, according to the latest worldwide market study by International Data Corporation (IDC). That's a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.1 percent. The forecast includes base Quantum Computing as a Service, as well as enabling and adjacent Quantum Computing as a Service. However, this updated forecast is considerably lower than IDC's previous quantum computing forecast, which was published in 2021, due to lower demand globally. Quantum Computing Market Development In the interim, customer spend for quantum computing has been negatively impacted by several factors, including: slower than expected advances in quantum hardware development, which have delayed potential return on inve

Credit Scoring Service Spending will Reach $44B

Credit scoring is a method that lenders use to predict the probability a borrower or counter-party will default on loans, or incur additional charges for repayment -- also known as measuring credit worthiness. The method is a key tool in making credit affordable for individuals and businesses. It links credit products to risk potential, connecting borrowers to secondary capital markets and increasing the amount of funds available. This securing process establishes risk predictability dependent on a number of factors, determined by financial indicators and other publicly available information reported by the credit bureaus. Credit Score Market Development According to the latest worldwide market study by Juniper Research, they now forecast credit scoring services will grow by 67 percent to $44 billion by 2028. Juniper anticipates that emerging markets will experience the greatest growth -- projecting the African & Middle Eastern region to grow by 117 percent over the forecast period
