Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) were marginally higher at $64.34 in after-hours trading.

Since taking charge in 2014, CEO Satya Nadella has steered the company toward cloud services and mobile applications away from its slowing traditional software business.

The company’s “Intelligent Cloud” business, which includes Azure, rose 8% to $6.9 billion in the second quarter.

That beat analysts’ average estimate of $6.73 billion, according to research firm FactSet StreetAccount.

Revenue from Azure, which businesses can use to host their websites, apps or data, jumped 93% in the quarter. Sales had more than doubled in the preceding quarter.

The Azure platform competes with offerings from companies including Amazon.com, Alphabet’s Google, IBM, and Oracle

Microsoft does not give an absolute revenue figure for Azure. Amazon’s AWS, Azure’s biggest competitor, grew revenues 55% to $3.23 billion in its most recent quarter.
