The New York Times wanted to convert 11 million articles dating
from the newspaper's founding in 1851 through 1989 to make themavailable through its website search engine. The Times scanned in thestories, converted them to TIFF files, then uploaded the files toAmazon's S3, taking up four terabytes of space. "The Times didn't coor-dinate the job with Amazon--someone in IT just signed up for the ser-vice on the Web using a credit card," IDG News Service reported. Then,using Amazon's EC2 computing platform, the Times ran a PDF conver-sion application that converted the 4TB of TIFF data into 1.5TB of PDFfiles. Using Amazon's computers, the job took about 24 hours.
