The Global Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 47.6 percent over the period 2011-2015. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the need to reduce total cost of ownership. The Global IaaS market has also been witnessing increasing security features of cloud IaaS solutions. However, growing concerns about data security could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

One of the major trends being witnessed in the Global Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) market is the increased adoption of the hybrid model for cloud infrastructure deployment. The cloud IaaS vendors are providing capabilities to deploy enterprise network resources into the public and the private clouds. The public cloud provides the organizations with much-needed elasticity and reduced cost of running these applications. Also, the public cloud approach does not have the same capabilities for control and compliance as offered through the private cloud architecture model. Thus, many organizations are embracing a hybrid cloud approach to utilize benefits offered by private as well as public cloud models. Thus, the Global IaaS market is witnessing a trend where many vendors are offering a hybrid model for utilizing cloud infrastructure services.

One of the main drivers of the Global IaaS market is the need to reduce the overall cost of ownership of organizational IT infrastructure. With increasing technological advancements and the increased adoption of technologies in business, there is an increase in the annual IT infrastructure procurement and management costs for many organizations. As a result, many end-users are turning to IaaS to deploy and manage organizational network resources at reduced cost.
