Amazon’s cloud dominance has grown: it gained share in the platform service segment of the market, a Gartner analyst said.
This story requires our BI Prime membership. To read the full article,Amazon is growing"aggressively" in platform-as-a-service, a key segment of the cloud market, Gartner analyst Ed Anderson told Business Insider.
Amazon has been grabbing more share in platform-as-a-service — the segment that makes it easier for customers to write and run cloud software by removing the need for developers to worry about individual servers and other aspects of infrastructure, focusing instead on the programming tools and processes they need.
Amazon remains the biggest player in infrastructure-as-a-service , which covers the basic components of a cloud platform, including access to servers and storage. Amazon's share of the $32 billion market actually slipped last year to 47.8% from 49.4%. Microsoft rose to 15.5% from 12.7%. Other players in the top 5 were Alibaba, Google and IBM.
The IaaS space, considered the core segment of the cloud market,"is consolidating," Anderson said. As the market matures, says Anderson, companies are moving beyond just using IaaS to set up servers in the cloud, and have an increased appetite for higher-end services that can help them build better software.
