Amazon was founded in 1994 and is headquartered in Seattle, Washington.
Amazon is an online shopping website with one of the largest product supplies online. It was one of the first companies to sell products deep into the long tail by housing them all in numerous warehouses and distributing products from many partner companies.
Since 2004 Amazon has begun rapidly expanding its web services arsenal. Products such as Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) and Amazon S3 (Simple Storage System), have been large success.
Prior to these services Amazon had survived on a low margin business model that relied on enormous volume in product sales. Amazon is looking to these services to provide a healthier profit margin.
