Amazon aims at Cloud rivals with smaller data centers, new chips


By Matt DayDina Bass

Amazon, which has long filled those data centers with highly customised hardware, continued its march into building the high-tech brains behind servers themselves. — AP

Amazon.com Inc’s Cloud unit has unleashed a suite of offerings – from chips to new types of data centers – designed to push the company into more areas of computing and help it grab a bigger share of corporate technology budgets.

Amazon Web Services is ramping up competition with tech giants and web-savvy newcomers alike. The unit, whose rented software offerings pulled in US$32bil (RM133bil) in revenue during the most recent 12 months, has gone in a little more than a decade from mostly powering nimble startups to competing for deals with the biggest businesses and governments.
