Enterprise Information Archiving Market Trends

Cloud Deployment Segment is Expected to Holds Major Market Share


The emergence of cloud computing majorly impacted how businesses operate. This increasing adoption rate of cloud solutions brought changes in the operating models by reducing the cost associated with the infrastructure. The cloud-based deployment solutions enable enterprises to focus on core business competencies. There is an increase in capital expenditure for cloud services by small and medium-sized enterprises. This factor is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
Cloud-based solutions are expected to grow significantly due to the cost and operational benefits offered by the deployment mode. It is expected to shift the trend away from the on-premise deployment model over the forecasted period. Furthermore, in November 2021, Nasdaq and Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched a multi-year collaboration to develop the next generation of cloud-enabled infrastructure for the world's financial markets. The partnership would allow Nasdaq's North American markets to migrate to the AWS cloud, commencing in 2022 with one of Nasdaq's U.S. options markets.
According to NASSCOM's report, global enterprise IT spending on cloud technology stood at USD 187 billion in 2018. Cloud spending is expected to reach USD 345 billion the current year. It would further create an opportunity for the market studied in the coming years.
Several factors drive cloud adoption, including increasing efficiency, rapid deployment, and security. Because cloud providers allow clients to deploy their workloads from many locations across the globe, latency is minimized, which improves the user experience. Furthermore, cloud-based services are more robust, as the loss of a virtual machine only sometimes implies reduced service availability. To maximize advantages, companies are evaluating which cloud models are most suited to their needs and planning to adopt hybrid cloud strategies, which involve integrating both public and private clouds.
Flexera Software said 80% of company respondents used Microsoft Azure for public cloud purposes this year. AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud are some of the major global cloud computing platform providers known as hyperscalers.
