A new Impact product released today by WinterGreen Research documents the revenue for the top 18 companies in the Web Services Cloud Market Segment for every quarter from 2006 to 2015 Q3, and provides analysis of the revenue and the companies in this market segment. The WinterGreen Impact analysis shows that Amazon is a dominant presence in this market segment at $2 billion for the current quarter.
Of particular interest is the climb of Microsoft to the number two position in the Web Services Cloud Market achieving revenue of $1.4 billion for 2015 Q3 through leveraging their existing customers of Office and Windows products. This year Microsoft has overtaken Google who has been a dominant player in this market for many years in that number two position.
According to Susie Eustis, leader of the team that prepared the study, "Of particular interest is the climb of Microsoft to the number two position passing Google in the Cloud Web Services Market. This is in part a result of the fact that Google dropped their prices, hoping to increase business and apparently the strategy backfired."
Other companies of note in this analysis trail far behind the big three, they include Rackspace, IBM Apple, Salesforce, Hewlett-Packard, Dropbox, Box, Citrix, and Oracle.
