Cloud Computing has transformed businesses. Complex tasks are now easier to perform, and data processing is more efficient with Cloud. In 2021, Cloud integration has almost become a necessity to survive in this competitive environment. This article is all about the three biggest Cloud Service Providers that are dominating the Cloud Computing industry.
AMAZON WEB SERVICES (AWS)
Amazon started AWS in 2008 and currently, AWS is the world’s top cloud service provider. AWS offers a wide variety of services. You name the technology, and AWS will have a service supporting that technology. AWS has made running businesses on the cloud very convenient, so much so that you can use your smartphone to control your operations. AWS is currently the market leader in cloud services with a 33% market share well ahead of its competitors. AWS generated $46 billion in revenues in the year 2020.
MICROSOFT AZURE
Microsoft Azure is currently the second-largest player in the cloud service providing industry. Almost 90% of the Fortune 500 companies use Azure as their cloud computing platform. Azure supports multiple operating systems, programming languages, and frameworks. Using large-scale virtualization, Microsoft Azure can provide close to 600 services to its clients.
