An
American multinational technology company, Microsoft Corporation is acquired
the firm, Cycle Computing. Cycle Computing is Cycle cloud firm, which provides
different types of applications for orchestrating computing and storage
resources. By this deal, Microsoft believes that the customers could take
advantage of the better performance computing in the cloud service.
The
cloud firm, Cycle Computing was founded in 2005 and the cloud service
advantages are used to achieve the large computing in substantial scale. Most
importantly the Cycle Computing software is very much compatible with the
Microsoft Azure, Google cloud Platform and AWS (Amazon Web Services).
The exact reason to acquire
the Cycle computing is just a business tactic to tackle the other cloud
providers in the market, Amazon Web Services is one of the major partners of
Cycle Computing.
Mr. Jason Zander, Vice president
of Microsoft Azure told a blog that, ‘Combining
the most specialised big compute infrastructure available in the public cloud
with Cycle Computing technology and years of experience with the world's
largest supercomputers, we open up many new possibilities’.
Most of the tech expert’s
feels that deal was made, not only for the big cloud computing technology and high
performance, also to cover some customers from the Google and Amazon Web
Services.
One of the big deal would
help to increase the progress in Microsoft by balancing the high performance
computing projects. Still there is no sign of the rates exchanged between the
two companies about the deal.
