Amazon, which has long filled those data centers with highly customised hardware, continued its march into building the high-tech brains behind servers themselves. — AP

Amazon.com Inc’s Cloud unit has unleashed a suite of offerings – from chips to new types of data centers – designed to push the company into more areas of computing and help it grab a bigger share of corporate technology budgets.

Amazon Web Services is ramping up competition with tech giants and web-savvy newcomers alike. The unit, whose rented software offerings pulled in US$32bil (RM133bil) in revenue during the most recent 12 months, has gone in a little more than a decade from mostly powering nimble startups to competing for deals with the biggest businesses and governments.
