Police departments team up with Amazon's cloud
Amazon.com Inc.'s cloud computing system is being used by Taser International's new Axon body camera aimed at police officer use.
The New York Times reports the Taser body-camera system records videos of officers who might be involved in deadly shootings, with videos stored in Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) cloud computers. The system has already cleared an Arkansas police officer involved in a deadly shooting.
Amazon in January touted the growth in its cloud-computing services, focusing on use by software developers. But a TechFlash story about the growth cited a trend toward heavier use of cloud computing by consumers and others.
