Cloud computing has become the ideal way to deliver enterprise applications—and the preferred solution for companies extending their infrastructure or launching new innovations. The cloud computing industry matured considerably in 2019 and continues to evolve as we move into 2020.
Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and Google helped grow the cloud computing ecosystem following big acquisitions and the adoption of multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies.
Gartner estimates worldwide public cloud revenue will grow to $266.4 billion in 2020, up 17 percent from $227.8 billion last year. By 2022, Gartner predicts the worldwide public cloud services market will hit $331.2 billion, which would make the cloud services industry three times bigger than overall IT services, according to a new study from Indeed.com.
Gartner also predicts that 60 percent of organizations will use an external provider’s cloud-managed service offering by 2022—double the percentage from 2018.
As Cloud services evolve, so are we, and we’re proud today to introduce GigaSpaces Cloud.

360 Real-Time View of All Data, Across Any Data Source
Organizations need a 360-degree view of their data to make real-time decisions. That fact that most IT ecosystems have multiple disparate data sources, such as databases and data warehouses and no single source of truth makes accessing this data in a rapid in a simplified manner very challenging.
GigaSpaces Cloud with InsightEdge overcomes this issue by seamlessly connecting and querying from all structured, semi-structured and unstructured data stores for accelerated holistic business decisions. GigaSpaces’ automatically manages the data lifecycle as defined by the business logic, which includes data movement between the different data tiers (RAM, SSD, Persistent Memory) and additional data stores (data lakes and warehouses), handles service orchestration, and executes ML models, and visualization using BI tools.
