publicly stating it not only wants tobolster its presence in the market among its biggest rivals by 2023bu
t beat the likes of AWS and Azure by that same modest three-year projection.
As it stands, AWS retains the lion share of increasing
cloud market at roughly 47% of the available market
share while Microsoft’s Azure comes in a distant second with around 16%, leaving Google with a scrappy single-digit 4% presence.
However, there is current speculation that perhaps
Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian may have been
holding on to some cards with his seemingly grandiose prediction, and could be looking to acquire industry-leading CRM provider Salesforce as a means to catapult the division.

bag where the company could secure additional
financial resources to expand its cloud computing and infrastructure efforts but would be owned, possibly
spun off as a dedicated integrated stack,
and tentatively managed by a company with aspotty track record for acquisitional transitionandprofitability as of late.
The idea that Salesforce would even
be open to a deal despite its
relative success in the stock
market as well as mutually beneficialpartnerships with
Microsoft, Apple, and AWS, may seem a far fetched one but RBC analysts
are seeding the idea following Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff’s presence at
CES and the company’s bullish standing in the market.

tenuous position as it chases AWS and partnerin
with Salesforce to provide Azure and Teams supportfor the CRM provider.
To its credit, Microsoft’s Azure business continues to
keep its head down andmake inroads with more governments and businesses.
Analysts may be seeing a Google surge via
acquisition proxy, but as the market continues to grow,
it’ll remain a continuous fight for even the biggest
names in cloud computing services.
