Abstract
Many different forces are currently shaping the future of the Cloud Computing Market. End user demand and end user investment in existing technology are important drivers. Vendor innovation and competitive strategy are also important determinants of what cloud solutions will look like in the future. Regulatory requirements, although they are not intended to, also play an important role. Finally, the constant pressure on Information Technology departments to provide everything as a business service has perhaps the most profound influence. When investigated and viewed together, these factors provide powerful insight into how the Cloud Computing market is likely to evolve.
