A record-high $41.8 billion was spent on cloud computing in the recently ended quarter as businesses leaned heavily on the internet to survive the pandemic, market tracker Canalys said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Spending on “cloud infrastructure services” around the world was up nearly $11 billion from the first three months of last year, according to Canalys.<\/p>\n

“Cloud emerged as a winner across all sectors over the last year, basically since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and the implementation of lockdowns,” said Canalys research analyst Blake Murray.<\/p>\n

“Organizations depended on digital services and being online to maintain operations and adapt to the unfolding situation.”<\/p>\n

Despite large-scale spending on cloud in the past year, most businesses have yet to make the “digital transformation,” according to Murray.<\/p>\n

The analyst expected “migration” to the cloud to continue as confidence in the economy improves, and postponed projects to take on new life.<\/p>\n

Amazon Web Services was the leading cloud service provider in the quarter, accounting for 32 percent of the market, according to Canalys.<\/p>\n

Microsoft’s Azure platform was second with 19 percent of the market, while Google Cloud had a 7 percent market share.<\/p>\n

Each of the rivals saw their cloud businesses grow, contributing to blockbuster overall earnings reported this week.\n <\/p>\n\n
