The one thing that I have always struggled with during my travels are the data plans of the cell phone companies. One wireless company for example has an international plan that will charge you $25 per month for 50MB after which they will charge you $20 per MB. Driving down the cost of Big-Data analytics.

A good example is the comments section on this blog; a few lines of JavaScript and these pages have a dynamic nature with comments, trackbacks and social media discussion showing up as they happen. Although there are some good examples that come with Cactus is still early days and there is not much of a community using it.

Jurisdictions - Some customers face regulatory requirements regarding where data is stored. For example, objects stored in the EU (Ireland) Region never leave the EU. For example, there is a large European Insurance company that is looking to expand their EU-based product offerings to the Asia Pacific market. APAC Summer Tour.

But customers have also asked us for more flexibility and control in the way that Amazon EC2 instances are booted such that they have finer grained control over for example what software configurations and data sets are available to the instance at boot time.

A simple example is the situation with Persons and Telephones; a person has a name, a person can have one or more telephones and each phone can have one or more telephone numbers. Modern systems require much faster update propagation to for example deal with outages. Driving down the cost of Big-Data analytics.

Further computationally intensive, highly parallel workloads have found their way to Amazon EC2 as businesses have explored using HPC types of algorithms for other application categories, for example to to process very large unstructured data sets for Business Intelligence applications.

Ideally these applications will periodically save their state into, for example, EBS or Amazon S3 and upon restart read the last saved state and continue their work.

For example, to construct a product detail page for a customer visiting Amazon.com, our software calls on between 200 and 300 services to present a highly personalized experience for that customer. For example, our Simple Storage Service, Elastic Block Store, and SimpleDB all derive their basic architecture from unique Amazon technologies.

This is especially true for customers managing HD video or data-intensive instruments such as genomic sequencers. For example, a 2-hour movie on Blu-ray can be 50 gigabytes. By supporting such large object sizes, Amazon S3 better enables a variety of interesting big data use cases. No Server Required - Jekyll & Amazon S3.

For example, the most fundamental abstraction trade-off has always been latency versus throughput. GPUs work best on problem sets that are ideally solved using massive fine-grained parallelism, using for example at least 5,000 - 10,000 threads. Driving down the cost of Big-Data analytics.

If you need to achieve high-availability and scalable performance, you will need to resort to data replication techniques. For example updates to data now needs to happen in several locations, so what do you do if one or more of those locations is (temporarily) not accessible?
