CNN  

New York CNN Business — Amazon Web Services has dominated the growing cloud computing business, but a new partnership between industry rivals aims to unseat it. Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services are the two finalists vying for a $10 billion contract to provide cloud computing services to the US Defense Department. “Microsoft’s Azure is the #2 public cloud vendor in the world and Oracle is the clear #1 database vendor with a strong #2 position in enterprise applications,” White said. Microsoft clearly doesn’t need Oracle to pose strong competition for Amazon, Zukin said, but the deal may help Microsoft grow Azure Premium Services, its higher-margin cloud product business.
