New Data-Intensive Cloud Storage from AWS
It was announced last week that Amazon Web Services had improved storage capabilities that could handle data intensive applications. The new storage designs are dubbed High Storage Eight Extra Large, and compliment applications with large amounts of data. Warehousing, Hadoop workloads and log processing are included in this.
Amazon stated: "We know that these applications can generate or consume tremendous amounts of data and that you want to be able to run them on EC2 [Amazon Elastic Compute 2]."
