Description

Cloud Services Sector Scorecard - Thematic Intelligence


Summary

The thematic screen of GlobalData’s cloud services sector scorecard is led by the global hyperscalers Microsoft, Amazon, and Alibaba, closely followed by Alphabet and IBM. Microsoft and Alphabet are aggressively investing in generative AI, developing the foundational large language models (LLM), and building the infrastructure to offer related services. This has the potential to become a differentiator in the industry.

Other vendors in top positions include several suppliers to the cloud services sector, particularly around networking and data center infrastructure (Cisco, IBM, VMware, HPE, Huawei), as well as data center colocation (Equinix).

Key Highlights

With the trade dispute between the US and China escalating further from last quarter, the leading Chinese vendors, including Alibaba, Huawei, and Baidu, continue to have weaker scores due to their more limited access to AI chips and advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies. This continues to disrupt the competitive landscape in the cloud services market, as the inability to run their clients’ AI workloads on high-performance AI chips will become a long-term competitive disadvantage.

Scope
  • This sector scorecard provides a top-down, comprehensive outlook for the key players in the cloud services sector over the next two years, based on the key themes set to transform their industry landscape.
Reasons to Buy
  • Companies that invest in the right themes become success stories. Those that miss the important themes in their industry end up as failures.
  • GlobalData’s thematic research ecosystem is a single, integrated global research platform that provides an easy-to-use framework for tracking all themes across all companies in all sectors. It has a proven track record of identifying the important themes early, enabling companies to make the right investments ahead of the competition, and secure that all-important competitive advantage.
  • At GlobalData, we have developed a unique thematic methodology for ranking all major companies in all major sectors based on their relative strength in the big themes that are impacting their industries.
  • Our thematic engine tags over 145 million data items across five alternative data sets—patents, jobs, deals, filings, and news—to themes. The vast datasets within our thematic engine help our analysts to produce sector scorecards that identify the companies best placed to succeed in a future filled with multiple disruptive threats.

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.
