Cloud Spending Sees Gains Among Some MSPs

Although a large portion of MSPs saw cloud growth stay stagnate, a larger portion saw growth in cloud-related sales.

Thirty-four percent of MSP respondents listed cloud as one of the technologies where they saw their biggest gains in Q4. Cloud trailed only cybersecurity (46%).  Only 9% of partners reported a year-over-year decrease in cloud-related sales in Q4.

“Customers were never looking for cloud solutions, and quite frankly most small to midsize customers don’t need or want monthly services which they cannot control,” one respondent wrote.

On the other hand, 59% reported increased cloud-related sales. Another 31% reported no change year-over-year.

Although public sentiment has wavered on whether or not businesses will slow down on infrastructure-as-a-service spending, MSPs report solid sales growth in cloud.
