We can all clearly see that the market is going toward cloud computing, from your opinion which vendor will be the cloud computing leader in future?

Thanks Guys for sharing your thoughts

In my point of view GOOGLE will be the leading firm in next5 years when concerning Cloud computing

Basm Allah Alrahman Alrahim

Google Of course It was the leader ( and Free Cloud Leader )

Thank you for that interesting question

IBM and oracle and microsoft are offering huge discount for onboarding. All three would be major player in coming years.

It is hard to tell, but I see that communication services providers are strong prospects.

Biggest players are IBM and Microsoft. VMWare have very good platform for virtualization however does not offer public cloud. IBM cloud services are also offered based on VMware. Other vendors offers based on those two big players, like Amazon is based on Microsoft

In my openion, OpenStack is a very good could platform. 

VMware

Good question but answer is difficulty because all of the vendors providing good technologies like vmware, scvmm, oracle vm, xen but majority using amazon webservices, azure and rackspace, etc.

With the alliance of VMWARE, CISCO and EMC, i think CISCO with its habbit to buy companies offering good products will be the industry leader. Secondly, CISCO also has the added advantage of offering some products that go hand in hand with the cloud initiative of the companies.

Yes,

Cloud computing is market leader. Reason behind this small and midcap companies dont want to bother and investment for Server room, infrastructure, huge licensing fees for softwares. Later on big companies also will jump in cloud computing servises consume. Some fortune500 companies started using cloud computing services.
