Google Launches Compute Engine To Take On Amazon Web Services

Google has spent the last decade building a huge amount of infrastructure to support its own services and applications. Now anyone will be able to take advantage of all that investment, as Google is rolling out a set of infrastructure-as-a-service products that could compete with industry heavyweight, Amazon Web Services. Google has already built one of the largest data centers and networks to connect those data centers. And in 2008, Google created App Engine, which Holzle said now supports over 1 million active apps and 7.5 billion hits per day. It's the largest public NoSQL data store in the world.
