Public cloud infrastructure expenditure exceeded private cloud in 2017

  

According to the latest forecast of global quarterly infrastructure, the total expenditure of infrastructure products (enterprise servers, storage and Ethernet switches) for deployment in the cloud environment is rising to US $billion to US $billion. The public cloud data center accounts for the majority of this expenditure, while the private cloud environment will account for $. The local private cloud will account for the infrastructure expenditure of the private cloud, and will grow at the annual growth rate of.

The infrastructure investment of cloud computing will increase in all regions, while most regions will be deployed in all three regions, and non cloud spending will decrease. Overall, global spending on traditional non cloud computing infrastructure will decline. However, it will still account for the largest proportion of final consumption.
In the cloud environment, Ethernet switches will be the fastest growing technology field, with year-on-year growth, while server and enterprise storage expenditures increased by and, respectively. In the process of continuing to use server based and software defined storage solutions, the weakness of the external storage department is an important factor in the slowdown of enterprise storage spending. In all three parts, the growth rate of infrastructure deployment expenditure on the sidelines will exceed that on the internal deployment environment.
In the long run, it is expected that the expenditure of cloud computing will be deployed externally at a compound annual growth rate of (), which is $billion. The amount that the public cloud data center will occupy. Combined with the deployment of private cloud, the expenditure on cloud computing infrastructure will grow at an average annual rate and will exceed the expenditure on non cloud infrastructure. The infrastructure expenditure of private cloud will be deployed at a compound annual growth rate, while the expenditure in non cloud (internal and external combination) will shorten the compound annual growth rate by more than.
