The latest report from the Asia Cloud Computing Association (ACCA) finds Japan as clear number leader in cloud services in APAC region, followed by New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Korea. China and India are ranked 11th and 13th respectively in the 14-nation list. The knowledge economy and cloud computing is the next great leveller for the region, poised to help accelerate the momentum around trade and economic integration in Asia. Increased intra-region integration in APJ across services and industries will drive public cloud usage as countries in this region break down borders through trade bloc agreements such as the ASEAN Economic Integration 2015 and the Trans Pacific Partnerships, which will drive more mobility, big data sharing and analytics and public cloud infrastructure and applications to support these initiatives.
