The Alternative Cloud
Welcome to the World of Alternative Cloud!
The cloud market today is largely controlled by three major players, claiming about 70% of the market share. But what about the remaining 30%? That’s the alternative cloud. Valued at an estimated US$164 billion today, the alternative cloud is forecasted to reach US$300-350 billion over the next five years.
This Market is Thriving…
This sector is flourishing, filled with innovation, and expanding rapidly. It’s driven by a unique ecosystem that powers open-source projects critical to keeping the Internet alive. What fuels this growth? The alternative buyer: customers who choose a different path, aligning with cloud providers that are smaller than the hyperscalers but equally formidable.
When cloud service providers select their infrastructure partners, they focus on:
- Ecosystem and Partnerships
- Performance and Support
- Security and Compliance
- Innovation and Flexibility
As end users seek alternative cloud solutions, cloud service providers are seeking the right partnerships to help them communicate and deliver their true value.
