Microsoft Azure will take time to reach AWS mark.It is a renowned fact that Amazon is the uncrowned king of the cloud computing fraternity and then there are other key players. According to consensus, Amazon Web Services or AWS is actually a $10 billion per year commodity. The previous trimester, the company was successful in generating revenues worth $2.4 billion from the company’s cloud computing domain which has gone up by 69% on a year over year basis.
Microsoft Corporation on the other hand is considered to be the second cloud computing platform due to the increasing popularity of Windows. The company’s cloud computing platform, Azure is growing on a rapid pace. The company reported that the revenues from Azure have gone up by 127% on a year over year basis, the previous quarter. However, it is known to camouflage the exact digits with the entire cloud fraternity.
However, the question here arises, with its increasing popularity; will Microsoft Azure be able to compete with Amazon Web Services?
Microsoft Azure has turn out to be a great commodity for the enterprise sectors that is already well acquainted with Microsoft product such as Windows. So Azure is the only service that is supporting the Windows products thus making it the preference of all those businesses that are running Windows.
The goal of Microsoft with the launch of Windows 10 is to achieve 1 billion devices in a time span of two or three years. This encompasses mobile devices and personal computers both. It has been reported that Windows 10 has sabotaged Windows XP and Windows 8.1 to become the second most significant desktop operating platform with almost 11.8% of the entire market share.
So the question is why Windows 10 is actually so important? It is not just the enterprise that make use of Windows are in favor of Azure but the operating system has been also designed in a manner that favors Azure. The in built system for backups makes use of Azure. Moreover, enterprises can also keep an eye on the workers via the Azure Active Directory without any significant configuration. Along with that users have the leverage to make use of a sign in to access the abundant resources present on cloud with the service. The Windows 10 platform has taken a steady start where the growth in Azure symbolizes a positive future for both the services.
This is not it; the software giant is not just assuming things and wishing that Windows 10 will be the next big thing for Azure. However, Satya Nadella is devoted to make cloud computing the next big thing in the cloud computing world.
Thus it is quite clear now that Microsoft Azure is actually growing at a faster rate than Amazon Web Services. However, this is not way to gauge if the gap between the giant’s is actually becoming narrower. AWS has succeeded in adding almost $1 billion to its business on a year over year basis in the past trimester which might just be the total business governed by Azure in the same time. AWS is certainly a profitable commodity that bags $687 million in terms of net income in the last trimester; however, it still remains controversial regarding the profitability of Azure.
At this point of time, Microsoft is actually putting its heart and soul in cloud computing where Amazon is the company they actually need to sabotage. However, it will take some time for the company to do so. With machine learning growing and the popularity of Internet of Things, the gap can be bridged. However, the market is still quite wide and dynamic that needs to be catered to.
