Amazon Offers Simple Storage Service
Amazon just announced a new addition to their web services API line up. They explain it as follows:


Amazon S3 is storage for the Internet. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.

Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.


I'm not someone that has had to address a need like this before but I can see why it is being offered. This sounds like an easy way to solve storage needs that a developer on a budget may encounter on their projects.


Pricing
  • Pay only for what you use. There is no minimum fee, and no start-up cost.

  • $0.15 per GB-Month of storage used.

  • $0.20 per GB of data transferred.
