State of the Cloud – May 2010
May 3rd, 2010 | Published in State of the Cloud | 12 Comments
A new month, a new State of the Cloud post! In this month’s post we’ll revisit the relative sizes of the top providers and see just how much of the cloud market the biggest players own.
But first, this month’s figures -
Looking at this month’s trends, we find a relatively slow month for the cloud. Overall growth was just 1.7%. The largest month-to-month percentage growth goes to OpSource which grew by 11%. In terms of absolute size, Rackspace grew the most with 70 new sites. Amazon gained just 10 new sites this month.
Let’s take a look at cloud providers from another angle. We last did this back in February.
Our first conclusion: Amazon now controls more than 50% of cloud-hosted sites. The second conclusion: by this metric at least, the cloud race continues to be a two-horse race: Amazon and Rackspace together control 94%, and all the rest of the providers retain but a sliver of control.

I’ve found an organisation called Servage who apparently have a groundbreaking service. It’s always hard to tell whether something is going to take off, especially with so much hype but the landing page looks cool! http://www.servage.com/. Have checked out their Twitter page (twitter.com/totalcloud)but seems they are waiting for the launch before tweeting their own news…..
