Google's classic papers on PageRank, MapReduce, BigTable and GFS.

Amazon's Dynamo.

Smart hardware belongs to big players only. A hardware company needs to deal with, Design, Engineering, Marketing, Production, Sales, Customer services, etc... If any of those step is messed up, the product is over. This is why I don't recommend anyone to get involved in this kind of business.

Re:Dropbox Secures $600M Credit Line Ahead of Expected IPO on Thursday March 30, 2017 @03:56PM (#13998385)
