It seems pretty reasonable to me. If Msft makes $1 billion on 20% of the market, and Amzn makes $3.8 billion (high-end analyst estimate) with 71% of the market,

It seems pretty reasonable to me. If Msft makes $1 billion on 20% of the market, and Amzn makes $3.8 billion (high-end analyst estimate) with 71% of the market, the math roughly matches.
- rgbrenner 13y agoI think those market share numbers are suspicious.. according to rackspace they had 1.3b in sales of private cloud and public cloud services in 2012: http://ir.rackspace.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=221673&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1784359&highlight= http://ir.rackspace.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=221673&p=irol-ne... So either the total is more than 100% market share for the 3, or those numbers or wrong. Edit: added "in 2012" for rackspace financials
- mckilljoy 13y agoI'd agree, most of these numbers are "fuzzy" and based on analyst estimates; I'd almost be more surprised if they DID perfectly add up to 100%. :-)
- ig1 13y agoThe percentages aren't market share rather percentages of companies using the product. That is a company which uses both Azure and AWS could contribute towards both percentages.
