Yeah, but did they have their own server hardware, data centers, programming languages, CDNs, web frameworks, kernel developers, operating systems, invented new protocols and hosted all kinds of stuff on the internet for billions of users? ;)
But of course, i probably use Amazon for 80% of my online shopping needs, they rock!
- molmalo 14y agoAmusing. Your description fits very well for Google, Microsoft and Apple, if we leave server hardware aside, because I don't know exactly what hardware does Microsoft (or Apple) use in their own Datacenters. Does anybody know this?
- buster 14y agoSure, and i would expect them to offer a lot as well :P MS seems to use Dell (only link i could find): http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2008/10/28/dell-our-servers-will-power-windows-azure/ http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2008/10/28/dell-...
- molmalo 14y agoThanks for that. So it seem that they use a "highly-customized server platform". I hope they show eventually what those customizations are.
