Amazon’s fourth quarter earnings report has revealed that Amazon Web Services, the platform that provides cheap online storage and computing power to smaller web companies, has overtaken Amazon.com in terms of bandwidth use:
Adoption of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) continues to grow. As an indicator of adoption, bandwidth utilized by these services in fourth quarter 2007 was even greater than bandwidth utilized in the same period by all of Amazon.com’s global websites combined.
