| 559738 | 2007-06-16 06:47:00 | Has anyone tinkered with this at all? http://aws.amazon.com/ Amazon's EC2 "Elastic Compute Cloud". It seems like quite a good idea, and I'd be interested to talk to someone who has had some experience with it. I have an upcoming development project which I am considering using it for. Same with this: http://rightscale.com/ (essentially a nice web-frontend to EC2). Cheers, somebody |

| 559739 | 2007-06-16 06:59:00 | sounds like a different form of grid computing. Very interesting. | winmacguy (3367) | ||

| 559741 | 2007-06-17 10:41:00 | [bump]. The grid form of computing I am familiar with is based on Mac Xserves linked together such as the ones used at Virginia Tech on their Terascale computing facility. |

| 559742 | 2007-06-19 12:11:00 | I have an EC2 account. I haven't used it much but it works extremely well. It takes ages to get to the front of the queue but it's nice knowing that if I ever need a temporary server, processing cluster or just a smart storage system it's available within minutes. | TGoddard (7263) | ||
