Amazon to Launch Content Delivery Network
This morning, Amazon announced that it would soon launch a content delivery network (CDN). This new service, which does not have a name yet, will be complimentary to Amazon's existing web services and will work seamlessly with S3, Amazon's online storage solution. Like most of Amazon's web services, this new product will not require a contract and does not have any minimum-usage requirements. Amazon did not announce a specific launch date, but it expects the new service to be available by the end of this year.
Will Microsoft Buy Limelight, or Build Their Own CDN?
Like Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged, rumors about Microsoft buying so-and-so just won't die. The latest rumor to keep floating across our desk is that Microsoft is buying second place content delivery network (CDN) Limelight Networks. In August, Microsoft entered into a technology sharing partnership with Limelight. Under the terms of that deal, the two companies would, "cross-license certain technologies, consider joint development projects in the future, and cooperate on extending and improving their respective technology infrastructures." Now it appears that Microsoft may be looking to buy the CDN outright.
