I sure hope it is BigTable and more Cloud Services. The opportunity to launch a new Cloud Platform is perishable. Amazon is building up quite a lead.

“The day of most ISPs are numbered. ”

We agree. Google would love to become “The Host” and they’d prolly do a heck of a good job!

It looks like google is sharing same module like SimpleDB, in my view google should focus on different niche rather than limited to developer base only.

I wet myself when I read Google may be announcing a whole suite of suite of products to compete with Amazon Web Services. If they can offer an EC2 like solution that allows for static IPs AND let’s you choose which region of the world the virtual instance is located (e.g US vs. EU vs. Asia). File storage that can mirrored to difficult locations around the world (get closer to the end user)? Am I dreaming? For the love of Xenu I hope the service is NOT free though. Just give me prices competitive to AWS and I’m game.

Not just bigtable, the whole stack as web service for free, within reasonable limits. Otherwise, it doesn’t make any sense, as the latency and bandwidth between Google and your own web site will nullify a lot of benefits. Either Google Grid or Google Cloud would be a good name.

It’ll be free because, Google already stores the entire web in BigTable, many times over. If everybody host their content on Bigtable, there is no need to crawl them anymore, saving a lot of crawling headaches.

The day of most ISPs are numbered.

For those who want to be independent of the Google Borg, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BigTable and pick an open source project to contribute.

Can someone please explain to me why BT -HAS- to be free? You’re talking about an enterprise-class information storage system here. Just because it’s Google doesn’t mean it’s free.

Can’t wait to see Google laying it all out on the table….this Big Table offering of theirs will have to be free in order to compete with Amazon an all…..must say that free has always been synnonymous with Google’s offerings, so can’t see why it will be different this time round. When is Google’s expansions into various niches going to stop? This juggernaut is justy getting bigger and bigger!

Arrington and Scoble will not be denied!! (I’d probably call the company and ask to be let in, but not that that would likely help).

Big Table is better for certain kinds of Web applications which store data rarely removed. The marketing target might be Web services running by business, rather than individuals who want cheap online storage directly.

Search Engines Web: the guy I got my invite from didn’t sign an NDA with Google. The invite didn’t say anything about keeping it secret, either. I just can’t post it because I don’t want to burn my source or piss off Googlers. Who knows, tomorrow I might get an email asking me not to come.
