Description

The State of the Cloud Asia-Pacific


Cloud Investments Underlie Strategies for Economic Growth and Recovery

In terms of technology adoption, Asia-Pacific (APAC) is a tale of two regions. Industrialized nations, including China, Japan, and South Korea, are mature in their use of cloud and other advanced technologies. In contrast, emerging economies in Southeast Asia lag in their cloud journeys, often hindered by inconsistent access to high-capacity networks and data center infrastructure. Both types of economies—advanced and emerging—are relying on technology investments to help them grow.

In the 2023 Frost & Sullivan Global Cloud User Survey, IT decision makers from APAC businesses share their perceptions and behaviors concerning cloud adoption. The following are among the findings:

• Three-quarters of APAC businesses agree that the cloud is essential to business success, with the strongest sentiment coming from China at 89%.
• Businesses deploy apps in the cloud as a way to cut costs and introduce business agility amid post-pandemic uncertainty. Overall, APAC firms cite operational efficiencies and flexible architectures as drivers. Australian and Southeast Asian decision makers cite sustainability as the top driver.
• The use of edge compute will grow significantly by 2025, led by Chinese firms, whose numbers are expected to more than double.

In this report, APAC responses to the most recent Frost & Sullivan global cloud user survey are analyzed. Responses for the region as a whole are presented, and, where significant, individual country-level responses are presented as well.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
