New Service Utilizes Instantly Resizable Hadoop Framework on Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 for Data-Intensive Compute JobsSEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Apr. 2, 2009– Amazon Web Services LLC (AWS), a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced the public beta of Amazon Elastic MapReduce, a web service that enables businesses, researchers, data analysts and developers to easily and cost-effectively process vast amounts of data. It utilizes a hosted Hadoop framework running on the web-scale infrastructure of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Using Amazon Elastic MapReduce, you can instantly provision as much or as little capacity as you like to perform data-intensive tasks for distributed applications such as web indexing, data mining, log file analysis, machine learning, financial analysis, scientific simulation, and bioinformatics research. As with all AWS services, Amazon Elastic MapReduce customers will still only pay for what they use, with no up-front payments or commitments. To sign up for Amazon Elastic MapReduce and other AWS services, go to http://aws.amazon.com.

Rackable Systems Buys SGI for $25 Million
Apr 3rd
While IBM & Sun Dither, Rackable Buys SGI
The once-great SGI closed at 41 cents a share Tuesday with a market cap of $4.78 million
Rackable Systems, the large-scale server wannabe, said Wednesday that it’s buying the now bankrupt SGI for roughly $25 million in cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities.
The once-great SGI closed at 41 cents a share Tuesday with a market cap of $4.78 million.
Rackable wasn’t even conceived of when SGI had its heyday and it’s at least spooky that the company founded in 1982 – the same year as Sun Microsystems – by Stanford professor James Clark, who went on to start Netscape, should finally succumb at the moment Sun is rumored to be getting bought by IBM.
