The Battle of the cloud between IBM and AWS

Amazon cloud services, which are common to mainstream media coverage, are familiar to the public, but in the 12-month revenue stream from the 3rd quarter of 2016 to the 2nd quarter of 2017, IBM's cloud services revenues of $15.1 billion exceeded Amazon's $14.5 billion, As Amazon announces revenue from its 3rd-quarter cloud services, VW will see a different view from mainstream media. IBM's recent 12-month revenue of $15.8 billion in the 3rd quarter of 2017 has also allowed IBM's shares to soar 10%, according to Fubis (Forbes). Although AWS has not yet been released, the 9-month revenue increase of $11.3 billion in the 4th quarter of 2016 to the 2nd quarter of 2017 will be compared with IBM's $15.8 billion, unless Amazon's revenue growth in the 3rd quarter is 40% to $4.5 billion. According to Amazon's 2nd Quarterly report, AWS's 2nd-quarter revenue jumped 42%, and if AWS continued its current growth in the 3rd quarter, it might have a chance to overtake IBM's figures. In addition, Microsoft's 2nd quarterly report in 2017 predicted that the 12-month revenue for the 2nd quarter of 2018 would be close to the $20 billion target mark set by two years ago, and that if Microsoft's figures were as real as they claimed, it could be more than IBM and Amazon. In the cloud service, the meaning of the ' cloud ' is greater than the IaaS that sets up the hardware server center, which is the success of Amazon's past, and the offer of SaaS cloud vendors may be more advantageous. Cloud computing can be divided into three levels: IaaS (providing cloud services for hardware infrastructure), PaaS (cloud services for operating systems and application systems development platforms), and SaaS (cloud services providing application systems) to provide SaaS-focused salesforce. com as an example, Its annual revenue of $10 billion is less than Amazon's, but CRM, its main source of revenue, is a SaaS category, and the revenues it creates are not comparable to AWS. Overall, although Microsoft, IBM and Amazon are three very different companies, it is certain that global companies want to use technology deployment to connect billions of of consumers around the world, so it can provide customer-oriented cloud services, or will be the key to win the Battle of the Cloud.
