According to a few sources, iCloud will be partially powered by Google Cloud. Apple seems to be cutting their spending costs with Amazon. A move on this level is a huge achievement for Google’s flourishing cloud enterprise.<\/p>\n

It has never been made official, but it is reported that iCloud is currently powered by Amazon Web Services and Microsoft’s Azure. Apple is reportedly paying Google between $400 and $600 million for this deal. Apple is not planning on dropping Amazon completely, but they are starting to cut back on that service to save money. (Because of all companies… Apple is the one that needs to save money).<\/p>\n

At the writing of this article, Google is #3 when it comes to enterprise cloud services. They recently hired VMWare co-founder Dianne Greene to lead their cloud services. They are planning on making the service more affordable in the years to come.<\/p>\n

Google is often more affordable because of their extensive fibre networks that connects their data centers at high bandwidth, and low costs. A while ago, Spotify made the announcement that they will be using Google’s Cloud Platform for their music.<\/p>\n

It will take just about a year for iCloud to be completely running on Google’s servers, but it will eventually happen.<\/p>\n
