fire into her Microsoft threw Google cloud alphabet for anti-competitive methods of cloud computing and criticized upcoming deals with several European suppliers cloudstating that it does not address broader issues related to licensing terms, according to Reuters.

In Google Cloud’s first public comments about Microsoft and its European deals, its vice president Amit Zaveri told Reuters that the company had raised the issue with antitrust authorities and urged its antitrust regulators to take action. European Union to take a closer look.

In a response of its own, Microsoft referred to a blog post last May in which its president Brad Smith stated that it “has a healthy #2 position in cloud services with just over 20% share of the global cloud services market.” “We are committed to the European cloud community and its success,” a Microsoft spokesman told Reuters.

There is intense competition between the two tech giants USA in the fast-growing multibillion-dollar cloud computing business, where Google is losing ground to market leaders Amazon and Microsoft. The industry has been under more regulatory scrutiny lately due to the dominance of a few players and its increasingly important role as more and more companies migrate their services to the cloud.

Microsoft has proposed changing its cloud computing practices by striking a deal with some smaller competitors who will in turn suspend their antitrust lawsuits, a person with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters this week.

The former accuses the latter of unfair competition in the cloud computing industry.

“Microsoft certainly has a very anti-competitive stance on the cloud. It uses its dominance in local business as well as Office 365 and Windows to connect Azure and other cloud services and make it harder for customers to choose what they want,” Xaveri explained in an interview.

“When we talk to our clients, they tell us that they find many of these bundling practices, and how they create pricing and licensing restrictions, a barrier to choosing other vendors,” he added.

Zaveri said deals with several smaller European cloud providers are only beneficial to Microsoft. “They selectively buy out those who complain and do not make these conditions available to everyone. This is an unfair advantage for Microsoft, and in any case binds those who complained to Microsoft.”

“The deal should concern everyone, not just one or two selectively. It shows that they have so much bargaining power that they can go and do everything individually.”

“My view of regulators is that they should look at this holistically, even if one or two suppliers can compromise, it won’t solve the wider problem. And this is a problem that we really need to solve, not the problems of individual suppliers.”
