7. Infrastructure-as-a-service Magic Quadrant 2014
“AWS is the overwhelming
market share leader, with
more than five times the
compute capacity in use
than the aggregate total of
the other fourteen
providers.”
Gartner “Magic Quadrant for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service,” Lydia Leong, Douglas Toombs, Bob Gill, Gregor Petri, Tiny Haynes, May 2014. This Magic Quadrant graphic was published by
Gartner, Inc. as part of a larger research note and should be evaluated in the context of the entire report. Gartner does not endorse any vendor, product or service depicted in its research publications,
and does not advise technology users to select only those vendors with the highest ratings. Gartner research publications consist of the opinions of Gartner's research organization and should not be

8. “Increasingly, organizations are asking what can’t go to the cloud,
rather than what can…”
“[Enterprise customers are] skipping the years of early getting-their-feet-
wet, and immediately jumping in with more significant projects,
with more ambitious goals…”
“As 2014 dawns, we’re moving into an era of truly
mainstream adoption of cloud…”
