A TBR Research survey indicates that majority of cloud customers in 2015 will switch to services that fulfill their specific requirements through on-premise, private and single-tenant platforms, InformationWeek reported Monday.
Charles Babcock writes the survey, conducted in the fourth quarter of 2014, shows a growing preference toward a single-tenant service among individual end customers.
TBR also predicts private cloud revenue to grow at more than 20 percent year-over-year in 2015, according to the report.
The TBR findings also forecast a rise in managed services channel partners and customer transition to managed services model that provides fixed computing resources or on-demand infrastructure, InformationWeek reports.
TBR expects an increase in OpenStack adoption while adding that the open source cloud management software will have less market impact in 2015 due to what TBR analysts cite as a lack of standardization and unified code base, Babcock reports.
The TBR survey also predicts a slowdown in public cloud revenue due to a growing competition landscape, the report says.
The cloud market is also poised to move into a mature stage that TBR expects will lead to fragmentation in the market, InformationWeek reports.
