Amazon Offers Grants for Cloud Computing

Jumat, 01 Mei 2009
Amazon, the online retailing website, is offering educators, researchers, and students the chance to apply for free access to its hosted cloud computing services. Cloud computing stores data away from your computer. This allows you to work with massive amounts of data that would jam a regular desktop computer.

Grant applications are available through Amazon’s Web site. Amazon says its cloud services are already being used at Harvard University and the University of Oxford. For example, Oxford scientists at the Malaria Atlas Project — an effort to map the geography of the disease in order to drive prevention strategies — use Amazon’s services to store, share, and analyze data.

You might want to check out the Freedom to Connect (F2C) conference in Washington DC, March 30 and 31. The conference will feature a workshop titled How to Get and Spend $7,200,000,000.00: What the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act or 2009 Means for Netheads.

This session will cover how to qualify for the Act’s $2.5 billion from the Agriculture Department and $4.7 billion from Commerce. Local governments qualify, as do non-profits, coops, and other entities. Disbursement of funds begins in May. Most monies must be disbursed within 18 months.

F2C is a meeting of people engaged with Internet connectivity and all that it enables, including vendors, customers, regulators, legislators, analysts, financiers, citizens and co-creators.
