Key developments for Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN)
The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to launch a new scanning satellite to map the stars in galaxy in more precise form than ever before and researchers supporting the project, called Gaia, are evaluating whether Amazon.com Inc.'s cloud computing service can handle the mammoth processing task. ESA is now seeking to determine whether it would be feasible to rent about 4,000 application servers from Amazon to run the programs ESA has written for processing the star data. This would involve exporting the collected star data which the Gaia project plans to store in an Oracle database in a Madrid location to the Amazon cloud over the Internet. Some in Gaia's upper management have expressed uneasiness about cloud computing, especially if the cloud turns out to be an Amazon EC2 data center outside of Europe.

Dubbed Affinity Shopper, it allows users to search within a set budget, along general interests -- such as “golf” or “beach” -- and within broad time horizons, not just specific dates.

German carrier Deutsche Lufthansa AG is the first customer, Amadeus and the airline said. Other carriers and travel retailers from around the world are due to follow soon, said Ian Wheeler, Amadeus’s Group Vice President for Marketing & Distribution, in an interview. Mr. Wheeler said the system is enabled by new search technologies, increased computer-processing power and Amadeus’s access to large amounts of data about flights, hotels and destinations. The product’s flexibility is an effort to overcome current systems’ limitations for reserving travel through the Internet, which force users to follow criteria defined by airlines and travel companies. “We as an industry have opened up travel options online, but we haven’t made it very convenient,” Mr. Wheeler said.
