Despite increased competition from IBM with its new SoftLayer franchise and other players, Amazon Web Services continues to lead the combined pack in cloud revenue, according to new Synergy Research Group numbers. The figures, which combine Infrastructure as a Service and Platform as a Service revenues in one big bucket, showed AWS grew a whopping 55 percent in an overall market that grew 46 percent.
Once again, revenue from AWS alone was bigger than that of all the listed competitors combined although all the major vendors showed growth.
