IBM published the report echoes the outcome of IDC forecasting the future of cloud computing in Russia. The report is based on interviews with providers of cloud services in Russia, IDC research in other countries, as well as open source. We present here some of the provisions of the final summary of the research company.

The Russian market in 2009 reached $ 4.8 million. According to forecasts of IDC, by the end of 2014 the market volume of $ 161.5 million. , Which corresponds to more than 100 % of the total annual growth rate.

In the Russian segment of the market is dominated by AaaS ( application as a service), constituting 94% of the total market. Projected to IDC, this segment is expected to increase to $ 113.4 million. by the end of 2014. IaaS segment amounted in 2009 only 4.0% of the total market, but, according to IDC, will grow to $ 35.5 million. in 2014. Segment PaaS ( Platform as a Service) will grow from $ 0.1 million. in 2009 to $ 12.5 million. in 2014.

The largest share of the segment AaaS in Russia last year took place at the products Microsoft, provided through local partners. Large Russian software developers with a broad network of partners, implementers are not yet able to move quickly on AaaS- model for their decisions, without entering into competition with its own network of partners.

Russian suppliers of IaaS ( Infrastructure as a Service) are just beginning to offer these services, and access to foreign suppliers such as Amazon and Rackspace, is limited due to lack of a direct payment mechanism B2B. Market for these services will no doubt evolve, and some hosting services will move to the cloud hosting services, this is the summary of the IDC in this segment of the Russian market.

Well, we will continue to monitor the development of this is undoubtedly a promising direction.
