What does the IaaS market statistics say?
According to analysts of Gartner, in 2016 the volume of the global cloud services market will grow by 16.5% and amount to $ 204 billion. The fastest growing segment - IaaS - 38.4% per year.
By 2019, the volume of the IaaS market will be already 130 billion dollars. This forecast is supported by all the new features that provide customers IaaS-providers.

These calculations are confirmed by other analytical companies. For example, Global Industry Analysts and Centaur Partners, in reports of which there is a similar order of numbers.
Of course, the IaaS segment is the most interesting for us. This model is great for enterprise organizations, small and medium businesses. Practical case studies that we considered:
/ Using IaaS-clouds for a loaded web project: the Hotels.ru experience
/ IaaS for a startup: Cooperation with the PickPoint postcard network
The growing demand for solutions that allow IT infrastructure to scale quickly and flexibly leads to competitive providers, which ultimately gives its advantages to customers. At the same time, we are not saying that the cloud is the solution to all problems. A great many of our clients use a hybrid approach when part of the infrastructure is located in the public, and some in the private cloud.
The main reason for using this approach is to control critical data at the company level and to save on scaling with the help of IaaS provider capacity. The economic feasibility and the possibility of carrying out experiments that are painless for already established business processes are the main factors pushing businesses to use a virtual infrastructure.
The situation with the growth of demand provides an opportunity to develop and data centers. So, analysts of Cisco Global Cloud Index expect that in the period from 2013 to 2018 the load on traditional data centers will almost double, while the load on cloud data centers will triple.
