Amazon's Cloud Business Is Growing Like Crazy (AMZN)
Explore Business Insider (Jul 25 2011)
Amazon's cloud business is growing like crazy, and could hit $1 billion in revenue next year according to analysts, Reuters reports. Right now Amazon Web Services, its cloud computing unit, is small enough that Amazon doesn't report its revenue, but according to estimates, it generated $500 million in revenue last year and will do $750 million this year--a 50% growth rate, which is impressive for such a large unit. If Amazon really hits these milestones it will be a big event not just for the company, but for the cloud computing industry in general.

By Keith Laska, Senior VP, SDL Language Technologies Before taking Microsoft’s new “Cloud” release Office 365 for a test drive, I was excited that the software behemoth had decided to take a strong swing at the online-only, viciously free-to-cheap office productivity applications such as Google Apps and Zoho. To date, these guys have done a wonderful job of creating a ubiquitous environment of office productivity, which in my view has far surpassed the cost associated with upgrading on a somewhat regular basis. Once I passed the “user ID and login” test, I was in and ready to get silly with... (Read Full Article)

Bing's Market Share Up 41% From Last Year, Not Enough To Justify The Billions Spent (MSFT)

The Microsoft Investor is a daily report from SAI. Sign up here to receive it by email. MSFT Moves With Market Markets were up on an upbeat earnings announcement by JP Morgan, which beat Street estimates, but by midday stocks took a tumble after Bernanke's comments about no plans for a third round of stimulus. Shares of MSFT are flat while the rest of technology dove in the negative. Upcoming catalysts include second calendar quarter results to be released on Thursday, July 21 at 5:30pm E.T.; the company's Analyst Day at its new developer conference (BUILD) on September 14; Windows Phone 7 / Mango adoption with hardware partner Nokia; strides against current market leaders in cloud computing; entrance in the tablet market at some point; making money in the online business, including integration of Skype and improving the search / display business; and continued evolution of Kinect and next generation Xbox console.

Yahoo's Impending Cloud Computing Spinoff Could Crush A Bunch Of Startups (YHOO)
Explore Business Insider (Jun 28 2011)
Yahoo is going to spin off its Hadoop unit this week, a Giga Om report says. Hadoop is an open source software framework pioneered by Yahoo that's useful to handle tons of data in the cloud, which is exactly the type of thing that is really hot these days. We wrote previously about Yahoo's impending Hadoop spinoff; it's a potential billion-dollar business that's not in Yahoo's core, and so would be best spun off with Yahoo retaining a stake. Now that the spin-off is happening, the startups that pounced on the commercial Hadoop opportunity should be scared. This particularly includes Cloudera, whose highest profile customer is Facebook which uses its services to handle its ginormous data stores, and which pioneered Hadoop commercialization.

China building GFW-free cloud computing zone for tech companies and startups
Explore The Next Web (Jun 23 2011)
Local Chinese press Southern Weekend reports that China is building a ‘cloud computing’ Special Administrative Region (SAR), a special hi-tech industrial zone for tech companies and startups to have complete, uncensored access to the Internet.
The Cloud SAR is a RMB 1 billion ($US 154m) project being built in Chongqing, south-western China. Perhaps the most noteworthy feature of this industrial zone is that it will be free from China’s infamous Internet-filtering system so as to enable tech companies to be on par with the developments around the world in cloud computing. It will be using an Internet connection that is isolated from the mainland network so no data would have to go through the Great Firewall of China.
Sounds too good to be true, right? Because it is. And it doesn’t come without a big “but”. According to the report, this place will strictly be exclusive to foreigners and no local Chinese enterprises will be allowed. In fact, Chinese citizens are not allowed to enter the area, and the working employees will have to pass through strict security checks before entering their workplace.
Cloud computing is becoming popular around the world, with US and European companies locating servers in Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and India to reduce costs. China, although popular for its cheap labor, couldn’t take advantage of the cloud computing business due to the restrictions on Internet access.
The Chinese Government has approved a Special Administrative Region in order to build an international data center ...
