                    Recently besieged by competitors in a series of recent surveys that indicate strong challenges to its longstanding cloud supremacy, Amazon Web Services nevertheless was recently ranked by Forrester Research Inc. as the top public cloud platform for software development.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                
                    
                                        
		            
                    Google Inc. challenged established cloud services leader Amazon Web Services Inc. with last week's introduction of a beta Nearline Storage service for housing data that needs to be kept by enterprises but is infrequently accessed.
