AMAZON EC2 Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Serivce down

IF ONE DAY THERE IS NO MORE CLOUD...

"Countless internet businesses, including Foursquare, Quora, Hootsuite, Reddit and Myxer found out today (21 Apr 2011) what happens when there is no cloud....

Part of the reason why the internet start up culture is so rich and thriving is due to the low cost to launch and deploy web services on-demand, without owning or renting massive data centers and expensive monthly bandwidth you may or may not use.  You can pay for this storage and bandwidth and processing power “on-demand” which dramatically drives down the cost of operating your web business, or artist website.

The downside of this is when the service you rely on to run your business also goes down.  Amazon’s EC2 service experienced hardware failure today, and is causing havoc across the web."

Apple Introduces iCloud

Free Cloud Services Beyond Anything Offered to Date 

SAN FRANCISCO—June 6, 2011—Apple® today introduced iCloud®, a breakthrough set of free new cloud services that work seamlessly with applications on your iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch®, Mac® or PC to automatically and wirelessly store your content in iCloud and automatically and wirelessly push it to all your devices. When anything changes on one of your devices, all of your devices are wirelessly updated almost instantly.

All of this happens automatically and wirelessly, and because it’s integrated into our apps you don’t even need to think about it—it all just works.” 

The free iCloud services include: 

  • The former MobileMe® services—Contacts, Calendar and Mail
  • The App Store™ and iBookstore℠
  • iCloud Backup automatically and securely backs up your iOS devices to iCloud daily
  • iCloud Storage seamlessly stores all documents created using iCloud Storage APIs
  • iCloud’s innovative Photo Stream service automatically uploads the photos
