In the last 12 months annual revenues for Azure have topped a billion dollars
according to Curt Anderson, CFO of Microsoft’s Server and Tools unit
where Azure is housed.
It’s the first time the Microsoft cloud has hit this storied height and suddenly
people are talking about it being in the running against Amazon Web
Services, which is believed to have done $1.8 billion last year on its eventual
way to $20 billion sometime before the decade ends.
