Description

This IDC Market Forecast reveals significant growth in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) (APEJ) managed cloud services (MCS) market. It is projected to expand from US$10.8 billion in 2023 to US$22.6 billion by 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8%. This growth is underpinned by the increasing adoption of multicloud, hybrid cloud, and cross-cloud architectures among enterprises in the region, driven by the need for IT resilience, digital transformation, and competitive differentiation through technology. The advent and rapid adoption of GenAI has accelerated the shift to cloud-centric architectures and platforms. Managed public cloud services are expected to experience the fastest growth, with a CAGR of 22.1%, followed by managed hybrid cloud services at 16.2% CAGR and managed private cloud services at 9.0% CAGR. This trend reflects a broader shift toward cloud-based solutions to enhance enterprise IT resilience, mitigate supply chain risks, and ensure the continuous availability of critical IT systems."Multicloud and hybrid cloud architectures have become critical digital infrastructure foundations, enabling enterprises to navigate evolving digital sovereignty, privacy, and compliance requirements shaping the AI market today while continuing to derive business value and innovation from public clouds," says Pushkaraksh Shanbhag, associate director, IDC Digital Infrastructure and IT Services. "Enterprises will increasingly rely on MCS providers to ensure seamless orchestration, efficient management, and the continuous optimization of their multicloud–public cloud and hybrid IT environments. Choosing the right cloud operations management partner will be key in unlocking differentiated business outcomes from AI- and data-driven innovation," he adds.

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.
