A recent report entitled: “State of Cloud Storage Industry Report” has shown that Microsoft Azure is now regarded as the cloud storage leader and in the comparison was THE ONLY PROVIDER to achieve zero read and write errors.

In the annual State of the Cloud Storage Industry Report, Nasuni compared leading CSPs and evaluated them based on performance, scalability and stability. According to the report:

“…it is clear that Microsoft’s investments in Azure are starting to pay dividends and that the technology they are providing to the market is second to none.”

 According to the Report:

• Windows Azure consistently performed better than all other CSPs in the study, which included Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, HP Cloud Object Storage, and Rackspace Cloud Files.
• Windows Azure delivered the best Write/Read/Delete speeds across a variety of file sizes, with the fastest response times and fewest errors. 
• Windows Azure not only outperformed the competition significantly during the raw performance tests, but it was the only CSP to post zero errors during 100 million reads and writes.
