The IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)<\/em> is a framework that allows companies to use web-based operating systems and applications without having to develop and\/or acquire their own infrastructure in the cloud, as this can be excessively complex and costly for some companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IaaS market, like the SaaS markets (Software as a Service<\/em>) and PaaS (Platform as a Service<\/em>) has a high growth potential, as it is a relatively new sector and closely linked to technological development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, as in many other sectors that we have already analysed in other posts, within the IaaS sector there are some companies that have achieved a large volume of sales and market share. Baker Tilly has analysed two of them: Cisco<\/a> and Rackspace<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CISCO<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cisco Systems, Inc.<\/strong> is a US multinational technology conglomerate headquartered in Silicon Valley. Its business focuses on the development, production and distribution of hardware, software, telecommunications equipment and other high-tech products and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today it is listed on the NASDAQ and is included in the NASDAQ-100, S&P 500, S&P 100 and Russell 1000 indices, with a market capitalisation of approximately USD 170 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cisco has quickly become one of the largest companies in the IaaS industry, with 2018 sales of $51.9 billion, assets valued at $100 billion and more than 76,000 employees worldwide. In addition, it has gained a large market share thanks to its countless mergers and acquisitions<\/a> of companies in recent years: OpenDNS<\/a>, Webex<\/a> and Jabber<\/a>for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RACKSPACE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rackspace Inc. is another of the most important companies in the IaaS sector, specifically in the area of Cloud Computing. This multinational company, also American, is headquartered in Windcrest, Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rackspace has two main lines of business - Cloud Servers and Dedicated Servers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
