looks interesting...
DataBase in-a-box, across a cluster, in the "cloud". just add water!
no DBA needed! So simple "anyone" can do it! LOL.
We've been hearing that since Oracle release it's first Windows version.
and why would you need a DBA with Microsoft's SQL Server?; it's just
point-and-click!

Subject: Coming Soon: Amazon SimpleDB (Limited Beta)
To: "jhauser@xxxxxxxxx" <jhauser@xxxxxxxxx>
Dear AWS Developers,
This is a short note to let a subset of our most active developers
know about an upcoming limited beta of our newest web service: Amazon
SimpleDB, which is a web service for running queries on structured
data in real time. This service works in close conjunction with Amazon
Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
(Amazon EC2), collectively providing the ability to store, process and
query data sets in the cloud.
Traditionally, this type of functionality has been accomplished with a
clustered relational database that requires a sizable upfront
investment, brings more complexity than is typically needed, and often
requires a DBA to maintain and administer. In contrast, Amazon
SimpleDB is easy to use and provides the core functionality of a
database - real-time lookup and simple querying of structured data -
without the operational complexity.
Were excited about this upcoming service and wanted to let you know
about it as soon as possible. We anticipate beginning the limited beta
in the next few weeks. In the meantime, you can read more about the
service, and sign up to be notified when the limited beta program
opens and a spot becomes available for you. To do so, simply click
the "Sign Up For This Web Service" button on the web site below and we
will record your contact information.
