Comment: “Ramping public cloud adoption + improving margins = framework for a $1 trillion market cap … and beyond,” Keith Weiss said. “A public cloud solution portfolio spanning core infrastructure services (e.g. compute, storage), to compelling platform-as-a-service capabilities (e.g. data, identity, analytics, machine learning), and up the stack to the application layer (e.g. productivity apps, front office apps, core financials) differentiates the Microsoft public cloud offering from peers.
“However, it is the combination of these Public Cloud assets with pre-existing enterprise assets, including a large existing customer base,expansive direct and indirect distribution channel, over 6 million .Net developers, and a suite of strong on-premise technology that likely drives continuing share gains over the next three years.”
