Is Sun Microsystems going to compete with Amazon’s Web services with MySQL?

February 26, 2008 By

Notice what Jonathan Schwartz says when I ask him whether he’s going to compete with Amazon’s Web Services like S3.

There are a few parts to this interview because AT&T’s 3G went down on me and then Qik updated its servers. Qik is working on a fix for both problems, they really are great about debugging my issues with the service.

Funny enough I recorded the last part of the interview on my Nokia N95, tried to upload it to Google Video, and it failed.

So, I switched to Viddler and it succeeded. Plus Viddler has more features than Google video. So, Google, you really need to fix your own bugs. Your service really sucks.

Anyway, part I, part II, and most of the interview is in part III, where MySQL’s CEO, Marten Mickos, shows up.

    Amazon Web Services are strong, and they entered the market first.
    If SUN, or EMC2, or anyone else, wants to face this giant competitor, they better come out with something really good :-)

    Is there not a chance you could record on a normal camera for if it does go down we can still have it in one file?

    Hi! Can you enable, in Viddler, for us to download the interview? I’d like to watch it offline…

    Thanks

    Colin: sorry about that, I didn’t realize there was an option to do that. I’ve enabled downloading now.
