Cloud migration and automation company Next Pathway recently unveiled a State of Enterprise Cloud Migrations report, which reveals that large enterprises are under pressure to translate and refactor legacy applications to the public cloud to generate new business.
In the highly competitive public cloud market, cloud companies are fighting to capture new workloads -- with Microsoft in the lead -- says the report. Based on a survey of 1,200 enterprise Information Technology (IT) pros, the Next Pathway survey also reveals that while hybrid and multicloud strategies are of interest to enterprises, most enterprises may be years away from achieving that goal.
Microsoft Currently Has an Edge
"The February 2022 survey also reveals a tight race in the battle for market share among the hyperscale public cloud providers. Microsoft had a slight advantage with 37.3% of respondents choosing it as the leader with the most robust platform. But Amazon AWS (32.1%) and Google Cloud Platform (29.7%) also hold a prominent share of mindshare in the public cloud market.
In an interview with Futuriom, Next Pathway CEO Chetan Mathur said that in their work with enterprises, Microsoft is capturing more business.
“Microsoft is the primary cloud target for enterprises migrating workloads,” said Mathur. “The reason is Amazon has more revenue share and because it has focused on the developer community with open-source tooling.”
Mathur said that Next Pathway’s survey research and experience indicates that AWS holds a strong base in the developer community, while Microsoft is gaining more victories among traditional enterprise IT."
