Keine Lizenzgebühr, sondern "Verbrauchsgebühr", 1 Dollar pro CPU Stunde, 1 Dollar pro verbrauchtes Gig und 1 Dollar pro raufgeladenen Gig (falls man Alexas Plattform verwendet)In short, Alexa, an Amazon-owned search company started by Bruce Gilliat and Brewster Kahle (and the spider that fuels the Internet Archive), is going to offer its index up to anyone who wants it (details are not up yet, but soon). Alexa has about 5 billion documents in its index - about 100 terabytes of data. It's best known for its toolbar-based traffic and site stats, which are much debated and, regardless, much used across the web.
Was bedeutet das? Jeder kann nun Alexas/Amazons Infrastruktur verwenden um eine Suchmaschine zu starten (sei es intern, vertikal oder traditionell), also Alexas Crawler, Alexas Prozessoren, Alexas Serverfarms, Alexas gesamte Infrastruktur steht gegen Bezahlung nun zur Verfügung...
