The Italian Senate board of trustees has endorsed a revision on blockchain industry control.

Yesterday, Jan. 23, the Senate councils of Constitutional Affairs and Public Works endorsed the correction/amendment, known as the “Decreto semplificazioni,” and supposedly represents the main administrative move in the blockchain space by the Italian government.

The change gives essential industry terms, for example, distributed ledger technology known as DLT – based advancements and perceptive contract definitions, as per the openly accessible report on the Senate’s site.

The report additionally expresses that a blockchain-fueled advanced information record will empower a lawful approval of archives at registration time.

Following the green light from the Senate’s “filter committees/groups,” the announcement currently requires two endorsements from the Italian Parliament — one from the Senate of the Republic, and another from the Chamber of Deputies.

When the declaration is changed over into law, the specialized/technical piece of the enactment is set up to be given by the Agency to Digital Italy, the specialized organization of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.

Fulvio Sarzana, a blockchain master from a recently made working team started by the Ministry of Economic Development, remarked on this move, proposing that Italy is endeavoring to authorize exchanges utilizing circulated record innovation to remove the middleman or centralized certification institutions.

In December 2018, Italy entered a rundown of seven southern European Union nations that adopted a decree encouraging for help in the advancement of blockchain innovation applications in the area.

Prior in September, Italy turned into the 27th nation to sign a decree making a European Blockchain Partnership collaborate to create cross-fringe computerized administrations and enhance the dimension of security and protection measures.

Blockchain has been the most popular technologies in the past decade. It is a disruptive technology that has immense potential to increase the performance of a broad range of industries.

Cryptocurrency bitcoin got fame just because of this blockchain technology as it provides utmost privacy and decentralization to cryptocurrency bitcoin. With the increase in time, various countries are adopting this powerful technology.

Recently, Chinese District Food and Drug Administrations have taken the step to introduce the blockchain technology for quality assurance. Industries from various sectors like Banking, Finance, Healthcare, and Logistics are adopting this technology in various countries worldwide.

The cloud has well and truly become an inherent part of IT. Many of the Tech giants are offering cloud services including Microsoft and Amazon. When compared between these two, Microsoft’s cloud offering is growing at a faster rate than Amazon’s. We have seen Amazon dropping cash on companies in the past like it bought Whole Foods For $13.7 Billion. The company’s shares fell 5 percent when it announced in its latest earnings report that it has planned to increase investments in 2019.

But Amazon may want to continue to buy up smaller companies, said Daniel Ives, managing director of equity research at Wedbush Securities, especially if Amazon want to avoid Microsoft’s cloud business to take full advantage of the sector.

“Amazon’s biggest nightmare is what is happening on the other side of town in Seattle and Redmond, Washington,” said Ives. “Microsoft is starting to get a strut in their step with the cloud, and that is sending shivers down the spine of Amazon. If you look at what Microsoft is doing on the cloud side, they are aggressively going after Amazon.”

For the past four quarters, you can see that in spite of Amazon’s superb performance in the enterprise cloud, Microsoft has not only matched but exceeded the stellar numbers Amazon has put up in the commercial-cloud sector:

Three months ending Sept. 30, 2017: Microsoft $5.0 billion, up 57%; Amazon $4.6 billion, up 42%;

Three months ending Dec. 31, 2017: Microsoft $5.3 billion, up 55%; Amazon $5.1 billion, up 44%;

Three months ending March 31, 2018: Microsoft $6.0 billion, up 57%; Amazon $5.4 billion, up 48%; and

Three months ending June 30, 2018: Microsoft $6.9 billion, up 58%; Amazon $6.1 billion, up 49%

“It’s a cloud arms race going on. Amazon has been miles ahead of the competition, but that gap is narrowing. We believe this is going to lead to more mergers and acquisitions this year,” said Ives.

Microsoft was up 76 percent in its second-quarter earnings for 2019, to which Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella said was a reflection of “our deep and growing partnerships with leading companies in every industry.”

Microsoft has recently picked up business from retailers like Gap. In Microsoft’s earnings call on Wednesday, Amy Hood, the company’s chief financial officer, said the company is picking up more large, long-term contracts from Microsoft Azure clients, including a five-year deal with Gap.

The rivalry between Microsoft and Amazon is becoming very evident. Microsoft is giving tough competition to Amazon. However, still, Amazon is in an influential place, despite a slight hit. AWS meanwhile, is still quite competitive in retail, providing its technology to companies

“AWS delivers more profit dollars to the company than all its retailing and products combined. It is natural for the percent growth to slow a little bit as a business gets large,” said Moorhead.

Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure are genuinely the two heavyweights of cloud services. Both are considered the two most important players in the cloud computing industry. With the widespread adoption of cloud, sourcing for talent to facilitate these transformations is getting increasingly difficult. The cloud services market is expected to be worth $555 billion globally by next year, according to a report by Allied Market Research.
