A graphic illustration of the market outlook for cloud computing

A diagram from Wikibon (pictured below) reveals the facts and prospects of some cloud computing developments. From the top table below, we can see that the ratio of the cost ratios of the traditional data center with 1000 servers to the cloud data center containing 100,000 servers, the network cost ratio is 7.1, the storage cost ratio is 5.7, and the management cost ratio is 7.1. It's not hard to understand why so many companies are obsessed with cloud computing.

On the left side of the middle, the actual revenue from the cloud services in 2010 and the expected revenue for 2016 are described. As can be seen from the figure, in 2010, cloud services in North America revenue (6.4 billion U.S. dollars) is Asia (2.1 billion U.S. dollars) more than three times times, and the ratio in 2016 to continue to maintain. On the one hand, this is due to the user's consumption habits, on the other hand, the service income and network situation also has a great relationship.
