Netflix: A Lot More than “House of Cards” | Tech.pinions - Perspective, Insight, Analysis

Excerpt from a Netflix/AWS synergy snapshot

"Last year, the company had revenues of $5.5 billion, up 25.8% from 2013. Profits were $267 million. Streaming delivered 88.9% of the business though it has only been in 2007 that Netflix’s business consisted entirely of shipping DVDs and Blu-rays.
But another place Netflix has by itself is as a huge and extremely clever, successful user of Amazon Web Services (AWS), to which it moved its operations in 2010.
