Another giant of cloud computing area as IBM also achieved business value only up to $ 8.7 billion. It showed that Amazon from a giant of online retailers was encroaching into the market share of cloud computing services of IBM. It is important that Amazon is looking to business customers rather than just focus on the budget users.

That is what makes AWS become the direct competitor and also a threat not small at all to IBM or Microsoft's Azure cloud software service. Not long ago, Amazon officially partnered with Rackspace to aim at the larger business customers.

Amazon has more than 1 million business customers.

Amazon Web Services is the cloud computing platform of Amazon, which provides resources and computing to help large and small businesses operate their systems with ease at a low cost.

With AWS services, enterprises no longer have to care too much about building hardware infrastructure systems, management, operation and maintenance. Therefore, they can focus on managing the macro businesses.

This is a fertile business that previously only IBM dominated, in recent times Microsoft has also taken part in with its Azure cloud service. Although the growth potential and profitability of this sector is still very large, only companies with real capacity can compete and attract customers as large enterprises.
