Once Again, Public Cloud Spending to Reach Record Numbers

Spending on public cloud services in 2022 will outpace 2021’s dollars by almost $84 billion, according to recent stats from Gartner.

Analysts in April said global end-user outlay on IaaS, desktop as a service (DaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) will approach a mind-boggling $495 billion this year. (OK, we declared the numbers “mind-boggling.”)

Percentage-wise, those figures come out almost 20% higher than 2021. (And get this — in 2023, Gartner expects the figures for IaaS, DaaS and PaaS spending to reach nearly $600 billion.) 

Still, in 2022, there’s another public cloud service that promises to claim the most glory. Go to the next slide for more.
