Cloud computing is the use of computing resources that are delivered to customers with the help of internet technologies. When a company moves to a cloud-based service model it means that the company moves away from a traditional capital expenditure model to an operating expenditure model.
Cloud computing offers its services through three fundamental models: SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS. SaaS is a model through which software applications, databases, or other data are made available to a customer through the use of the internet. IaaS is the provision of computing infrastructure with the help of internet technologies. PaaS is the delivery of a computing platform.
The analysts forecast the Cloud Computing market in Canada will grow at a CAGR of 17.8 percent over the period 2013-2018.
This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Cloud Computing market in Canada for the period 2014-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS. The three main segments considered in this report are described below:
