Cisco Maintains

Lead in Public

Cloud Infrastructure

While HP Leads in

Private Cloud

New Q4 data from Synergy Research
Group shows that Cisco and HP
maintained their leadership of the cloud
infrastructure equipment market and in
aggregate accounted for 27% of worldwide
revenues. Across the different types of
cloud deployment, Cisco has a clear lead
in public cloud infrastructure while HP
leads in private cloud. Both vendors saw
their share of the total cloud market drop
a little from the previous quarter as their
sequential revenue growth did not quite
match overall market growth. The bigger changes in market position came a bit
further down the ranking, as IBM’s sale of
its x86 server product line to Lenovo saw
it drop to ifth place, behind Microsoft and
Dell. Lenovo is now the seventh ranked
vendor. Total Q4 cloud infrastructure
equipment revenues, including both
hardware and software, were well over
$13 billion, having grown by 9% year on
year.
Cisco’s overall leadership is due mainly
to its dominance of the networking
segment and its rapidly growing position
in servers. HP is the market leader
in cloud servers, a main challenger in
storage and also part of the pack chasing
Cisco in networking. Microsoft has total
dominance of the server OS segment and
is one of the leaders in virtualization applications. IBM remains a major player
in both servers and storage. Servers, OS,
storage and networking combined account
for 92% of the cloud infrastructure
market, with the balance comprising
cloud security, cloud management and
virtualization applications.
“Cloud infrastructure is a fast-growing
market and now accounts for almost
half of all data center infrastructure
shipments,” said Jeremy Duke, Synergy
Research Group’s founder and Chief
Analyst. “We are seeing strong growth
across private, public and hybrid cloud
deployments and across all geographic
regions. While it remains relatively small,
by far the highest growth is being seen in
hybrid cloud and I expect this to continue
over the next ive years.” n
