Abstract
This IDC study provides a detailed taxonomy for the dedicated cloud infrastructure and services market. The document covers the definitions of various building blocks and provides a top-level overview of dedicated cloud segments. IDC is retiring the term private cloud and replacing it with the term dedicated cloud, but the definition remains the same: environments in which IT resources are dedicated to a single organization and managed and delivered to end users utilizing cloud attributes. The growing availability of commercial and open source cloud platforms enables the increasing adoption of dedicated clouds by enterprises, while the proliferation of infrastructure management platforms for managing resources across multiple environments drives the expanding growth of hybrid IT environments.
“The growth of private, dedicated cloud infrastructure represents a willingness by cloud providers to meet customers where they are on their journey, while acknowledging data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and latency requirements,” said Rob Tiffany, research director for IDC’s Cloud and Edge Infrastructure program. “Likewise, the delivery and management of dedicated cloud infrastructure as a service through an opex model is the recognition of a customer’s financial and IT staffing realities.”
