Olapic on Amazon.com's Cloud
On the morning of April 21, 2011, Alex Dantart, CTO of Olapic, was about to run the final testing of his New York-based IT start-up company's new service, uPhoto. The launch date of this innovative photo crowdsourcing service commissioned by Olapic's first corporate client, the newspaper the New York Daily News (NYDN), was slated for the end of April. Although it seemed that the Internet connection was working, Dantart was puzzled when he realized that he could not access any of Olapic's servers running on Amazon's cloud services.
