cluster computing
Great video. It lays out the numbers for why cluster and grid computing stand poised to "revolutionize" the web services business. Rather than dealing in commodity computers, we will begin to deal in commodity computing cycles (C3), where we are purchasing FLOPS, not boards.

There are some hurtles in stability that must be overcome when using virtual computers. These must be addressed before ecommerce vendors will transition from physical servers to virtual ones. We had to solve these hurtles for our own geospatial exchange application (http://www.weogeo.com) developed on EC2, and have recently begun to transition this intelligent management software to the greater EC2 community (http://www.weoceo.com).
