China Private Cloud Spending 2012–2016 Forecast and Analysis

This IDC study provides a detailed analysis of the private cloud computing spending in China, including market accelerators and inhibitors as well as the market breakdown by application, vertical industry, horizontal segment, and regional hotspot. In addition, the study provides 2012–2016 forecast for China's private cloud market and a comparison of the current and previous forecasts. In this study, we also introduce a category in the market — virtual private cloud.

"IDC believes that private cloud computing spending will increase dramatically in the next few years. Although most SMB users will consider adopting their applications on the public cloud platform, some SMB users and majority of the large enterprise users will consolidate their infrastructures and shift to the private cloud platform. Virtual private cloud will also be one of their choices," says Thomas Zhou, senior research manager, Enterprise System and Software, IDC China.
