Azure Growth

Last week, an analyst claimed will continue to make ground on cloud leader Amazon Web Services. These two companies dominate the cloud market. AWS hovers around 45% while Microsoft Azure is at around 20-22%.

One analyst takes a bolder approach and says Microsoft Azure is starting to ramp up how much market share it takes from AWS. Dan Ives, an analyst for Webush Securities says market acceleration means Microsoft is catching Amazon:

“In the September quarter we are seeing a clear acceleration of larger and more strategic enterprise cloud deals (both domestically as well as in Europe). We believe Redmond is poised to win the lion's share of the next phase of cloud deployments vs. Amazon.”
