Third, hourly pricing for the production versions of each product will be published sometime soon. </p> </blockquote> <div class="meta"> <span class="updated"> 3 days ago</span> </div> </div> <div class="source"> <h2 class="subject">Source: <a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/blogs/aws.typepad.com%2Faws">Amazon Web Services Blog</a></h2> <a class="url external" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090215041247/http://aws.typepad.com/aws">http://aws.typepad.com/ aws</a> <div class="thumbnail"> <a class="image-link" href=""><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090215041247im_/http://direct.shots.snap.com/preview?url=http%3A%2F%2Faws.typepad.com%2Faws&key=e2ed42e51891a2e6ffddef4171b23cf0&src=technorati.com&cp=api_shot_preview!preview!208.66.64.4&v=3.68&ex=0&ol=0&origin=api&tok=000349a0d0baaba3fab07c4e942fe8710031e649a5" width="128" height="94" alt=" thumbnail"/></a> <a class="snap_shot" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090215041247/http://aws.typepad.com/aws">visit this site</a> </div> <ul> <li><a class="links" href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/blogs/aws.typepad.com%2Faws?reactions" title="View blog reactions">Authority: 399</a> </li> <li><a class="favorite" href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/faves/?add=http%3A%2F%2Faws.typepad.com%2Faws" title="Add this to your favorites"> Favorite it</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="share-this">  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090215041247js_/http://w.sharethis.com/widget/?tabs=email%2Cweb&charset=utf-8&style=default&publisher=d4257290-7e88-444c-b499-41b774b6ec2f&linkfg=%234261DF"></script> </div> </div></div> <div id="reactions" class="module"><div class="module-inner"> <div class="header"> <h3>Reactions <span>/ <em>posts that link to this post</em></h3> <span class="more"><a href="?reactions">View all reactions</a> »</span> </div> <ul class="root hfeed"> <li class="hentry"> <a class="content-toggle inactive" href="#"></a> <a class="photo" href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/people/technorati/miller60" title="miller60"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090215041247im_/http://static.technorati.com/progimages/photo.jpg?uid=1606" width="24" height="24" alt="Photo of miller60"/></a> <h4><a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/KSP22p4wLZob7Ptz8FT3p1PGXQlsoErGhuND_xPE8hQ%3D">IBM Apps Now Running on Amazon’s EC2 Cloud</a></h4> <a class="url external" rel="bookmark" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090215041247/http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2009/02/11/ibm-apps-now-running-on-amazons-ec2-cloud/">http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2009/02/11/ibm-a...</a> <div class="meta"> <span><abbr class="updated" title="2009-02-11T11:02:31-08:00"> 3 days ago</abbr></span> in <a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/blogs/http%3A%2F%2Fdatacenterknowledge.com">Data Center Knowledge: Data centers, design, power, cooling</a> · <a class="links" href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/blogs/datacenterknowledge.com?reactions" title="View blog reactions">Authority: 334</a> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p class="entry-summary inactive"> IBM and Amazon Web Services have partnered to allow developers to use Amazon EC2 to build and run a range of IBM platform technologies, the companies announced today. The new “pay-as-you-go” model provides development and production instances of IBM DB2, Informix Dynamic Server, WebSphere Portal, Lotus Web Content Management and Novell’s SUSE Linux operating system on EC2. Developers can use their existing IBM licenses on Amazon EC2 or use new Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) that IBM is making available at no charge for development and test purposes, enabling software developers to quickly build applications based on IBM software within Amazon EC2. In coming months, Amazon will introduce production AMIs running IBM services, enabling users to purchase these services by the hour. The agreement with IBM, perhaps the company most identified with corporate IT, is the latest indicator of the growing traction for Amazon’s cloud computing platform among enterprise users. The old maxim that “nobody ever got fired for buying IBM” underscores the significance of the partnership. At a time when many corporate IT departments are debating the merits of cloud computing, the IBM-Amazon partnership is a signal that IBM sees Amazon’s public cloud as enterprise ready. “As someone who once programmed IBM mainframes using 80 column punched cards, this is a pretty exciting announcement,” wrote Amazon technology evangelist Jeff Barr. “Questions about commercial software licenses (and their applicability to the cloud) come up at almost every one of my speaking engagements. I’m happy to be able to point to IBM as an example of a software vendor with a licensing model which is cloud-aware and cloud-friendly.” “This relationship with Amazon Web Services provides our customers with a new way to use IBM software and broadens our distribution channels.” said Dave Mitchell, Director of Strategy and Emerging Business, IBM Software Group.

Hidden inside was an operating system called MS-DOS which the computing giant had licensed from a pipsqueak company named Microsoft. IBM didn't realize it at the time, but the deal, which allowed Microsoft to maintain its ownership of the operating system and to license it to other companies, turned out to be the seminal event in defining the commercial landscape for the computing business throughout the ensuing PC era. IBM, through the deal, anointed Microsoft as the dominant company of that era. Today, as a new era in computing dawns, IBM announced another deal, this time with Amazon Web Services, a pipsqueak in the IT business but an early leader in cloud computing. Under the deal, corporations and software developers will be able to run IBM's commercial software in Amazon's cloud. As the Register's Timothy Prickett Morgan reports, "IBM announced that it would be deploying a big piece of its database and middleware software stack on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service. The software that IBM is moving out to EC2 includes the company's DB2 and Informix Dynamic Server relational databases, its WebSphere Portal and sMash mashup tools, and its Lotus Web Content Management program ... The interesting twist on the Amazon-IBM deal is that Big Blue is going to let companies that have already bought software licenses run that software out on the EC2 cloud, once the offering is generally available." Prickett Morgan also notes, "If compute clouds want to succeed as businesses instead of toys, they have to run the same commercial software that IT departments deploy internally on their own servers. Which is why [the] deal struck between IBM and Amazon's Web Services subsidiary is important, perhaps more so for Amazon than for Big Blue." It doesn't seem like such a big deal, and it probably isn't. But you never know. The licensing of MS-DOS seemed like small potatoes when it </p> </div> <ul class="root hfeed"> <li class="hentry"> <a class="content-toggle inactive" href="#"></a> <a class="photo" href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/people/technorati/jarober" title="jarober"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090215041247im_/http://static.technorati.com/progimages/photo.jpg?uid=35661" width="24" height="24" alt="Photo of jarober"/></a> <h4><a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/O5PK3EaRWC38RzMFMZgIL3eUtKnslnmG4GgwTtkvkQo%3D">Software in the Cloud</a></h4> <a class="url external" rel="bookmark" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090215041247/http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/blog/blogView?showComments=true&printTitle=Software_in_the_Cloud&entry=3411874898">http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/blog/blogView?showComments=tr...</a> <div class="meta"> <span><abbr class="updated" title="2009-02-12T07:51:34-08:00"> 2 days ago</abbr></span> in <a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/blogs/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cincomsmalltalk.com%2Fblog%2FblogView">Smalltalk Tidbits, Industry Rants</a> · <a class="links" href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/blogs/www.cincomsmalltalk.com%2Fblog%2FblogView?reactions" title="View blog reactions">Authority: 64</a> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <p class="entry-summary inactive"> Nicholas Carr reports a big cloud computing move by IBM: Today, as a new era in computing dawns, IBM announced another deal, this time with Amazon Web Services, a pipsqueak in the IT business but an early leader in cloud computing.

Attending only one Session on Clouds (Manageing Clouds), I got the impression, that clouds are not a big deal, if you stick with IBM. After months of rumors on “Blue Cloud offerings”, they unveiled their strategy and showed that using IBM Tivoli products can help you setting up a complete privat, public or mixed offering. Based on the characteristices of Cloud computing: - Elastic Scaling - Rapid provisioning - Resource Abstraction - Flexible pricing IBM has almost everything in place to set up a cloud offering: Ranging from Virtualization and Provisioning, over open Standards for SOA and Information management up to a complete IT Service Management solution (based on IBM Tivoli), that monitors and controls the processes around the offering. Sounds quite easy, doesn’t it. IBM is pushing pressure on the competition on the cloud front. To emphasize this, they also start a new offering based on AWS EC2 to provide parts of their Software portfolio (DB2 and Informix Databases, as well as Webshere Portal and Middleware) to customers on a On-demand pricing model &lt;LINK&gt;. This offering might be used for setting up rapid test and developments environments. Dana Gardner has more on this topic &lt;LINK&gt;. This step is kind of suprising, because some people might have though, that Big Blue was going to have a competing offer for public clouds. I think that this step proves, that IBM won’t battle Google and Amazon, instead they are focussing on Enterprises. This is what their customers demand. In combination with these releases, IBM also presented a bunch of customers for their offerings &lt;LINK&gt;, to prove that their offering are real. So it seems, that cloud computing could be quite easy, if you have a good set of products and some good, strategic partners. Let’s wait and see. </p> </div> <ul class="root hfeed"> </ul> </li> </ul> <div><a href="?reactions">View all reactions</a> »</div> </div></div> <div id="rising-items" class="module"><div class="module-inner">  <h3>Rising items in <a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/technology/it">IT</a></h3> <div id="rising-content"> <div class="headlines"> <h4>Headlines</h4> <ol> <li><a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/7w6ryVtaDhmMa2pftw9E4X39iCJZ1fpjdvbeq6BS9as%3D">Top 10 Outlook Boosters [Lifehacker Top 10]</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/He%2BV3012pchJjwsRpFyWIqXopgHYKv_6S430NpBsIPc%3D">The week in hardware: It's all about the chips</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/GQiwUCa_ssUMT6FXvKnqkcKjaQdJNFm8CbJnZphx7w4%3D">VoIP Not Internet Telephony</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/VseKj8lOUbPQehJN%2BB9OZtn05bgZK9t4JGRzLSJaAOM%3D">Code Project: build a Space Invaders clone</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/vgoVeILVcWjTYsWug3VYc2eGaIZIpcxin9lbF3eNNzA%3D">GFX Pack offers customizable video graphics packages</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/3XI1hcx6qPJIsnoPN63F2xOZNAoZvBwnMQA_ew4zvb8%3D">SpeedEDIT finally shipping</a></li> </ol> <div class="feature"> <h5><a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/CQCtXx8EL23Vop%2B5i2fX3VbK31NvsQFCYO6qfkWdviI%3D">Internet Detectives Recover Stolen iPhone in World Record Time [Justice]</a></h5> <p>Our brothers-from-another-mother at Consumerist helped catch the scoundrel who stole an innocent man's iPhone by using the power of potential internet embarrassment. </p> <div class="meta"> <span class="published"> 9 hours ago</span> in <a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/blogs/gizmodo.com">Gizmodo, the Gadget Guide</a> · <a class="links" href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/blogs/gizmodo.com?reactions" title="View blog reactions">Authority: 13,982</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="photos"> <h4>Photos</h4> <ol> <li> <div class="thumbnail"><a class="image-link" href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/d2jEW2xbLG3m7eCPV88hDqLNR96hQFuKr4N76CrO8AI%3D"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090215041247im_/http://static.technorati.com/asset/img/c/a/5/f/ca5f44088f30cf9598f3051e9f5bbd98.jpg" width="26" height="48" alt="Image of How would you change RIM's BlackBerry Storm?"/></a></div> <a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/d2jEW2xbLG3m7eCPV88hDqLNR96hQFuKr4N76CrO8AI%3D">How would you change RIM's BlackBerry Storm?</a> </li> <li> <div class="thumbnail"><a class="image-link" href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/vR5QBI_ljepmiEdYrsi1h7yVGgNpLNapYlNcgVhdlT0%3D"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090215041247im_/http://static.technorati.com/asset/img/1/1/4/1/1141dfbeaf4ad81602430cfbdb6f2f3b.jpg" width="28" height="48" alt="Image of Apple sued over iPhone screen rendering tech"/></a></div> <a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/vR5QBI_ljepmiEdYrsi1h7yVGgNpLNapYlNcgVhdlT0%3D">Apple sued over iPhone screen rendering tech</a> </li> <li> <div class="thumbnail"><a class="image-link" href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/aicEOjP3fMUtI8xkICbAqRWz43El0Y1N%2BNh_PzVYW8A%3D"><img src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090215041247im_/http://static.technorati.com/asset/img/d/a/4/1/da41348af9f7018ee76c0ed373b4e6f4.jpg" width="64" height="38" alt="Image of Virtua Tennis 2009 also coming to Wii"/></a></div> <a href="/web/20090215041247/http://technorati.com/posts/aicEOjP3fMUtI8xkICbAqRWz43El0Y1N%2BNh_PzVYW8A%3D">Virtua Tennis 2009 also coming to Wii</a> </li> </ol> </div> </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> </div></div> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { var ri_cookie = getCookie("risingItems");
