Microsoft yesterday reported their financial results for Q1 FY2015. They reported that commercial cloud revenue grew $662 million or 128%, due mainly to subscriber growth and a higher premium mix of Office 365 Commercial. Microsoft Azure revenue also grew 121%, reflecting a growing customer base, higher commitment levels, and increased usage.
Commercial Other revenue increased $805 million or 50%, due to higher Commercial Cloud revenue and Enterprise Services revenue. Enterprise Services revenue increased $142 million or 13%, due mainly to Premier Support Services, driven by growth in our core product support services.
Commercial Other gross margin increased $531 million or 194%, due to higher revenue, offset in part by a $274 million or 21% increase in cost of revenue. The increase in cost of revenue was due mainly to higher datacenter and other online infrastructure expenses, reflecting increased support of our growing Commercial Cloud, as well as increased costs to deliver Enterprise Services revenue.
