Microsoft and Oracle gang up against Amazon in the cloud
- Wednesday | 5th June, 2019
(Reuters) – Microsoft Corp and Oracle Corp on Wednesday said they reached an agreement to make their two cloud computing services work together with high-speed links between their data centers, targeting big business users and uniting against cloud computing leader Amazon.com’s Amazon Web Services. The move comes as both Oracle and Microsoft are courting large businesses and government customers considering moving computing tasks currently handled in their own data centers to cloud providers. AWS, the largest cloud computing provider, is encroaching on many of those customers, including in Oracle’s historical stronghold in the database market. Microsoft has previously inked a deal with German software maker SAP SE and Adobe Inc to make their services work better together. Ed Anderson, an analyst with research firm Gartner, said the move was a clear “jab” at AWS, especially for Oracle.
