Is a return to >20% annual cloud growth possible? Our answer, in a single slide.

We expect public cloud revenues to return to >20% growth in the next few quarters, as we come to the end of a period of optimization, and as we exit tough compares.

The question is whether such growth is sustainable in the long run. We provide a useful perspective on that matter in a single slide today. When looking at the overall ~$3 trillion enterprises spend on their IT, how it grew in the last 5 years, and how it is likely to grow in the next 5, it appears that spending with the top public cloud providers is indeed likely to continue to grow above 20% p.a.
