Microsoft has seen its profits drop 14% year-on-year in the first quarter of financial year 2023 as PC sales were affected by the slowing economy.

Another factor that affected the company's revenue was sluggish growth of its cloud services.

The company recorded US$50.1 billion (A$77.85 billion) in revenue during the quarter, an increase of 11%, but its profits fell to US$17.6 billion.

One of the areas which saw the biggest drop was Windows OEM revenue which fell by 15%. Also down was Xbox content and services revenue which dropped by 3%.
Chairman and chief executive Satya Nadella commented: "In a world facing increasing headwinds, digital technology is the ultimate tailwind.

“In this environment, we’re focused on helping our customers do more with less, while investing in secular growth areas and managing our cost structure in a disciplined way."

Executive vice-president and chief financial officer Amy Hood added: “This quarter Microsoft Cloud revenue was US$25.7 billion, up 24% (up 31% in constant currency) year-on-year.

"We continue to see healthy demand across our commercial businesses including another quarter of solid bookings as we deliver compelling value for customers."

Microsoft returned US$9.7 billion to shareholders as share repurchases and dividends, a decrease of 11% year-on-year.

ENABLE HYBRID CLOUD & REDUCE NETWORK LATENCY WHITEPAPER

Hybrid cloud promises to bring together the best of both worlds enabling businesses to combine the scalability and cost-effectiveness of the cloud with the performance and control that you can get from your on-premise infrastructure.

Reducing WAN latency is one of the biggest issues with hybrid cloud performance. Taking advantage of compression and data deduplication can reduce your network latency.

Research firm, Markets and Markets, predicted that the hybrid cloud market size is expected to grow from US$38.27 billion in 2017 to US$97.64 billion by 2023.

Colocation facilities provide many of the benefits of having your servers in the cloud while still maintaining physical control of your systems.

Cloud adjacency provided by colocation facilities can enable you to leverage their low latency high bandwidth connections to the cloud as well as providing a solid connection back to your on-premises corporate network.

Download this white paper to find out what you need to know about enabling the hybrid cloud in your organisation.
