Microsoft Windows Azure and related software services topped 1 billion dollars in annual sales

As the world's largest supplier of software products, Microsoft, while choosing to enter the hardware market, has not forgotten to step up its research and promotion efforts in traditional and emerging services, especially Windows Azure, which is unveiled in the cloud computing market, and is making strides forward at a faster pace.

Microsoft Windows Azure and related software services have topped 1 billion dollars in annual sales, according to new Bloomberg reports. Curt Anderson, the head of Microsoft's server and Tools division, said that in the past 12 months, Windows Azure has been making profits by providing business applications and services based on the internet and cloud-based services, while the current Windows Azure has broken a 1 billion dollar sales milestone.

James Staten, an analyst at the market research firm Forrester Studies, provides statistics that show that 20% of enterprise-class users currently use Windows Azure cloud services from Microsoft, and 71% choose to use Amazon's cloud services In a year, Microsoft will occupy 35% of the market share.

The use of Windows Azure Services has increased by 48% over the past six months, although Microsoft still has a considerable distance from Amazon in the entire cloud computing market, but Windows Azure still shows its vitality and plasticity.
