 Written by [AltaFlux Corporation](https://www.altaflux.com/blog/author/altaflux-corporation) | November 11, 2015

In continuation to our blog series on **[SAP Cloud Basics](https://www.altaflux.com/blog/sap-cloud-basics-1)**, we are going to take a look at the Cloud Market and theri service offerings by some of the cloud technology service providers.

### MARKET LANDSCAPE

[Amazon Web Services (AWS)](http://aws.amazon.com)

AWS is a collection of remote computing services (also called web services) that together make up a cloud computing platform, offered over the Internet by Amazon.com. The most central and well known of these services are Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3. The service is advertised as providing a large computing capacity (potentially many servers) much faster and cheaper than building a physical server farm.

[Microsoft Azure](http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/)

Microsoft’s public cloud: “The Cloud for Modern Business”. It provides both PaaS and IaaS services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems.

[Oracle Cloud](http://www.oracle.com/us/solutions/cloud/overview/index.html)

Oracle’s cloud solutions, including software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS).

[Salesforce1](http://www.salesforce.com/platform/overview/)

The Salesforce1 Platform gives you the ability to accelerate the development and deployment of mobile apps. The 100% cloud platform and powerful API’s help you quickly: Develop customer-facing apps, build employee facing apps and connect everything to anything. .
