AWS

Amazon Web Service is consist of various components for cloud computing - EC2 for computing resources, S3 for storage, SQS for queuing and SimpleDB for structured storage.

AWS is not the first comer, but actually made cloud computing accessible and viable - technically and economically.
Definitely it made huge impact on the area. Everybody talking about cloud computing refer to AWS.

Combination of S3 and EC2 (and especially the fact that they don't charge for the transfer between S3 and EC2) makes AWS attractive. Simplicity of AWS is another attractive feature. It is rather primitive (= low level service) and doesn't offer that much, but users of AWS (who is a kind of early adaptor of cloud computing) cloud don't have to worry too much about locking-in.

  3. This is very intriguing information. There has not general information about AWS. It is true that AWS made it more accessible to people and businesses. Companies use this service to store their data and run their virtual machines. Amazon Web Services has many more applications. This may also offer streaming live videos and movies. Currently AWS has a long list of products according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Web_Services . One in particular, Amazon CloudFront, intrigues me because it is a content delivery network (CDN). CloundFront may very well be competing with Akami CDN.

  4. Thanks. I have heard about cloud computing, but cloud phone systems are something very new to me. I never knew until I read from your post today. No wonder the phones are getting smarter than the Internet.
