Indeed, from my quick scan of the report it looks like it was done in good faith. It could be that MS influenced Network World to publish it. Even if I knew they had I'd still be more favourably disposed towards Azure having read this report: Microsoft consistently performed better than the other CSPs in the tests, delivering the best Write/Read/Delete speeds across a variety of file sizes, the fastest response times and the fewest errors. Not only did Microsoft outperform the competition significantly during the raw performance tests, it was the only cloud storage platform to post zero errors during 100 million reads and writes. In those categories where Microsoft was not the top performer (uptime and scalability variance), it was a close second. In contrast, I'd much more wary of using Google Cloud Storage after reading this.
