Microsoft Azure Overtakes Amazon's Cloud In Performance Test

alphadogg writes "Microsoft Azure's cloud outperformed Amazon Web Services in a series of rigorous tests conducted by Nasuni, a storage vendor that annually benchmarks cloud service providers (CSPs). Nasuni uses public cloud resources in its enterprise storage offering, so each year the company conducts a series of rigorous tests on the top CSPs' clouds in an effort to see which companies offer the best performing, most reliable infrastructure. Last year, Amazon Web Services' cloud came out on top, but this year Microsoft Azure outperformed AWS in performance and reliability measures. AWS is still better at handling extra-large storage volumes, while Nasuni found that the two OpenStack powered clouds it tested — from HP and Rackspace — were lacking, particularly at larger scales."

    You seem to be flaming this a lot

    And you seem to be ignorant, confident and dumb. A lethal combination. Lethal to you that is.

    This website is more linux oriented ... Linux, BSD, etc have the dominant position in the market ... makes Microsoft the minority in cloud computing

    Wow, you are even dumber than I originally thought, you don't even know the difference between the cloud and the web in general. Go get an education before you come back, your ignorance is currently dwarfing every other aspect of your personality.

    So you can understand now why everyone says there is nothing running on it

    No, I can see why dumb, ignorant religious nuts say so, they don't have an ounce of knowledge to share between them. As a computer professional I use the tools that work, some times that is Microsoft, some times it is Linux. It is never either or. It is only either or for unemployable religious nuts.
