As GenAI matures, AI-specific cloud
platforms are expected to emerge, new ISG reports say
Generative AI is reshaping the cloud computing market and is
expected to lead to more AI workload-specific cloud platforms in
the future, a new research report from leading global technology
research and advisory firm Information Services Group (ISG)
(Nasdaq: III) says.
The ISG Buyers Guides for Cloud Platforms, produced by ISG
Software Research (formerly Ventana Research), say cloud
technology, due to its scale and shared services model, is best
suited for the delivery of GenAI-enabled applications at scale and
the development of general-purpose foundation models.
The reports note specialty cloud providers will become an
important consideration for many enterprise cloud architectures.
The emergence of domain-specific models, which can be smaller, less
computationally intensive and lower the hallucination risks
associated with general-purpose models, suggests a future where
cloud platforms may become increasingly specialized, the reports
say.
“As GenAI continues to evolve, we can expect to see more AI
workload-specific cloud platforms in the future,” said Jeff Orr,
director for digital technology, ISG Software Research. “GenAI
applications require extensive computational resources, and cloud
computing platforms provide the scalability enterprises need to
allocate resources dynamically based on the needs of various GenAI
workloads. This has led to a reshaping of the cloud computing
market, with specialized infrastructures catering to computational
giants like large language models (LLMs).”
The reports say that by migrating to the cloud, businesses can
streamline operations, reduce costs and accelerate innovation. To
meet the efficiency and innovation challenge, enterprises are
expected to adopt multiple clouds.
ISG projects that by 2027, over three-quarters of enterprises
will operate across multiple public cloud computing environments,
necessitating the requirement for a unified data platform to
virtualize access for business continuity.
When an enterprise CIO or IT leader is considering a cloud
platform, the choice between public, private, hybrid, multi-cloud
or industry/sovereign cloud should be driven by the organization’s
specific objectives, goals and desired outcomes.
“The conversation in enterprises has shifted from ‘Why cloud?’
to which types of cloud for which workloads,” said Orr. “A
diversity in cloud service providers now exists to align with
specific industry and business requirements rather than a
one-size-fits-all agreement.”
In addition to aligning with strategic objectives and
operational needs, it is also important for enterprises to consider
factors such as cost, resource availability, technical expertise
and the potential need for digital transformation when choosing
cloud platforms. A well-chosen cloud strategy, the reports say, can
drive innovation, enhance customer experiences and provide a
competitive edge in the digital marketplace.
The reports cite other benefits of using a cloud service
provider over building on-premises servers. They include low
capital outlay, faster time-to-market, agility and optimal cloud
delivery models from Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) to
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). While
on-premises servers will not go away entirely, they must continue
to compete effectively with cloud computing as an alternative for
many applications and services, the reports say.
The ISG Buyers Guide for Cloud Platforms is designed to provide
a holistic view of a software provider’s ability to serve a variety
of cloud workloads with a set of cloud platform products. As such
the Buyers Guide includes the full breadth of deployment models,
services and functionality.
For its 2024 Buyers Guides for Cloud Platforms, ISG assessed
software providers across four cloud platform categories – Cloud
Computing Platforms, Public Cloud Platforms, Private Cloud
Platforms and Hybrid Cloud Platforms – and produced a separate
Buyers Guide for each. A total of 13 providers were assessed:
Akamai, Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), DigitalOcean,
Google, Huawei Cloud, IBM, Leaseweb, Microsoft, Oracle, OVHcloud,
Tencent and Vultr.
ISG Software Research designates the top three software
providers as Leaders in each category. For the 2024 study, the
leading providers in ranked order are:
Cloud Computing Platforms: Microsoft, AWS and Google
Public Cloud Platforms: Microsoft, AWS and Google
Private Cloud Platforms: Microsoft, Google and Oracle
Hybrid Cloud Platforms: Microsoft, AWS and Google
”Cloud computing has become as ubiquitous as the power and water
in your home or business, but the software platforms for providing
this service are still in an evolutionary transition to be able to
interoperate across systems in an enterprise and across multiple
enterprises,” says Mark Smith, partner of Software Research at ISG.
“This Buyers Guide gives enterprises that need to consolidate and
simplify their cloud platforms a better understanding of the
current cloud landscape.”
The ISG Buyers Guides for Cloud Platforms are the distillation
of more than a year of market and product research efforts. The
research is not sponsored nor influenced by software providers and
is conducted solely to help enterprises optimize their business and
IT software investments.
