Cloud Services Brokerage (CSB) Market [Cloud Broker; Cloud Enablement; Cloud Brokerage; Cloud Management]: Global Advancements, Business Models, Future Opportunities, Worldwide Forecasts and Analysis (2013 – 2018)
In the increasingly complex cloud computing scenario, there exists a dire need to amalgamate all cloud-based services and offerings on an integrated platform, to ensure seamless delivery to the end-user. With a wide array of offerings spanning across infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), Software-as-a-service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-service (PaaS), Business Process as a Service (BPaaS), and many alike; the cloud marketplace is progressively becoming more diverse and hence, incoherent at the same time. In order to address this seemingly large gap between different standards, platforms, services, and offerings, a unified platform seems to be the only resort, and is ascertained to bridge the gap.
The Cloud Brokerage and Enablement market is set to redefine the cloud environment, with its inherent integration, aggregation, and inter-operable capabilities. Cloud Services Brokerage (CSB), as a concept, has evolved over the years; however, its potential and existence has come to light very recently. Cloud Brokerage and Enablement market refers to the cloud enablement and brokerage market, collectively. Both these markets have been defined, segmented, and estimated, separately; wherein cloud brokerage enablement refers to integration platforms which aggregate, customize, and/or integrate cloud offerings on a single platform, thereby enabling other players to become cloud brokers. Cloud Brokerage, on the other hand, is defined by market players who use the enablement platforms as brokers, and serve Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) and enterprises, for their respective cloud-based needs.
Presently, this market comprises of various players who are dedicatedly offering and building on their enablement platforms, with internal and external offerings. While internal enablement is widely being adopted by large enterprises and financial organizations; external enablement is being adopted by players such as telecom providers, system integrators, hosting providers, Independent Service Vendors (ISVs) and resellers, to become cloud brokers.
The Cloud Brokerage and Enablement market is at a very nascent stage and stands highly fragmented. It pioneers the integration of the entire cloud ecosystem, connecting hardware players such as IBM, HP, Dell; software players such as Microsoft, Citrix; PaaS, IaaS, SaaS providers such as Google, Salesforce, Amazon, and Rackspace, among many other prominent players in the IT and Telecom industry.
While the Cloud Brokerage and Enablement market is flooded with various players, MarketsandMarkets aims to diminish the overlaps, by distinctly defining both these markets separately, and highlighting their respective offerings.

The Cloud Services Brokerage (CSB) and Enablement market is creating a stir in the market due to its pioneering innovation and explicit benefits. With a proliferation in the cloud services and offerings, the traditional cloud market for organizations is expanding beyond boundaries, thereby making it complicated for end-users to work on multiple offerings by multiple players. The rapid adoption of cloud-based offerings has led to the need for a seamless integration, thereby demanding flexibility in terms of cloud portability standards, security frameworks, and inter-operability. Cloud Brokerage and Enablement fits in perfectly in this scenario, as it not only eliminates vendor lock-ins and Service Level Agreements (SLAs), but also ensures seamless flexibility, in terms of service certification and accreditation.
Cloud being a blend of various types of offerings, players and regulations, presents a significant challenge while customizing and integrating disparate services on a common platform, which is now being simplified by the concept of cloud brokerage. The cloud services market is expanding faster than the ability of cloud service consumers to utilize and manage these services. Cloud brokerage here comes as a solution, offering more dynamic services across all infrastructures, integration and application options, thereby enabling secure usage of these services.
Through a unique blend of aggregation, customization, and/or integration services, cloud brokerage provides a seamless integration between software, infrastructure, platform, security, and virtualization needs, while offering an exhaustive list of options to choose from, in some cases. This concept is breaking grounds in the cloud marketplace, as end-users now have the flexibility to choose and customize offerings based on their requirement, without any vendor driven obligation.
MarketsandMarkets expects the Cloud Brokerage Enablement market to grow from $225.42 million in 2013 to $2.03 billion by 2018, at a CAGR of 55.3%.
