Distributed cloud refers to an architecture where multiple clouds are used to satisfy performance requirements, compliance needs, and edge computing concerns while being centrally managed from the public cloud provider. In a distributed cloud, services are situated or distributed to certain places to minimize latency, and these services benefit from a single, standardized command post across public and private cloud environments.

The adoption of distributed cloud by end-user industries is expected to boost the growth of the distributed cloud market going forward. A distributed cloud service is a public cloud that operates in multiple locations. This distribution of services enables an organization to satisfy extreme specific requirements for response time and performance, regulatory or governance compliance mandate, or other demands requiring cloud infrastructure to be situated anywhere other than the cloud provider’s typical availability zones. It offers benefits including increased compliance and uptime, scalability & flexibility, and faster processing, and performance. These advantages encourage organizations to adopt distributed cloud computing. For instance, in March 2020, according to a global survey of more than 400 IT executives which was conducted by Volterra, a US-based company and innovator in distributed cloud services, 97% of IT leaders are planning to distribute workloads across two or more clouds. Out of the main reasons, 63% of respondents chose for maximizing availability and reliability, 47% of respondents chose for meeting regulatory and compliance requirements and 42% of respondents chose for leveraging best-of-breed services from each provider. Therefore, the adoption of distributed cloud by end-user industries is driving the growth of distributed cloud market.

Technological innovation is a key trend gaining popularity in the distributed cloud market.
