The global public cloud computing market is projected to grow to USD 210 billion by 2016, driven by increased IT spending and the migration of legacy systems to on-demand solutions. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) is expected to experience the fastest growth at a CAGR of 38.7% from 2013 to 2016, with strong demand for cloud services particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. The shift from private to public cloud services is gaining traction, enhanced by the benefits of economies of scale and innovation offered by public cloud providers.
