Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud services delivers ten times the computing capacity of the next 14 cloud competitors combined (including Microsoft, Google and IBM), reports Gartner<\/a>. \u00a0AWS has more than a million customers and is expected to have $7.3 billion revenues for 2015, 81 percent growth over the past year.<\/p>\n

AWS has always been the go-to platform for cloud-based startups, but now it’s not only small companies that are using it. \u00a0Large businesses like General Electric, BMW and Capital One are all heavy users of AWS.<\/p>\n

One by one, enterprise ‘reasons’ to avoid AWS or its public cloud competitors are being systematically demolished.”<\/p>\n
