Analysts: 'At the end of the day, the settlement is nothing'
Microsoft's deal to settle an antitrust complaint taken to the European Commission by a group of cloud providers is good for Microsoft, but no so meaningful for enterprise customers, says a well respected analyst.
The cloud giants — Microsoft, AWS, and Google — enjoy market dominance in Europe despite regular complaints by regulators. However, running Microsoft software on the likes of listed providers that include AWS and Google is not covered by the settlement. Instead, European cloud providers will — if Microsoft sticks to its nine-month promise — get an enhanced version of Azure Stack HCI for European cloud providers dubbed Azure HCI Stack for Hosters.
