Abstract

This IDC study provides an overview of M&A deals in the cloud computing industry in 2009 and the different business, financial, and technology trends affecting M&A activities. It also analyzes industry and market dynamics driving current and future acquisitions in the different cloud computing markets.

"There is still a gap between cloud computing hype and reality, as actual deployments are still far from what one should expect considering current market noise. This gap is slowly being filled as major IT vendors are taking substantial steps to develop and/or acquire the missing pieces, especially in the areas of managing, governing, and securing cloud computing environments." — Dan Yachin, research director, IDC EMEA Emerging Technologies
