It has certainly been an exciting week in the Cloudsphere with Dell and HP battling it out over 3PAR. It’s clear who is on Dell and HP’s radar, and  I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of 2010 Cloud acquisitions as the segment continues to consolidate.

Its been almost 2 quarters since the last report, though the BTC Logic team has done an excellent job in their Top Ten Cloud Companies in 2Q10 Report to pick up the slack.  CRN released The 100 Coolest Cloud Computing Vendors list joining the The Top 150 Players in Cloud Computing, 85 Cloud Computing Vendors Shaping the Emerging Cloud, 50 of The Biggest and Best Cloud Computing Companies, The VAR Guy’s SaaS 20 Index, and even Congress has gotten into the Cloud game – Congress Holds Hearing on Cloud Computing.

With that M&A activity as background, here are my rankings for the Top 30 Cloud Service Providers Gaining Mind Share in 3Q 2010.

  1. Amazon Web Services (AWS),
  2. Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2),
  3. Simple Storage Service (S3), and
  4. Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
  5. Salesforce.com
  6. Google Apps (AppEngine)
  7. Citrix – XenServer (Virtualization)
  8. VMWare – vSphere (Virtualization)
  9. Rackspace – Mosso
  10. 3PAR
