Amazon en storage sollution

Amazon biedt een oplossing (S3) waar Flickr van gebruik gemaakt zou kunnen hebben bij haar start.
Business to business sollution: een HD met interface en aantrekkelijke prijs - 15 dollar per maand, voor 100 Gig. Geen consumer oplossing

Amazon Web Service is launching a new web service tonight called S3 - which stands for “Simple Storage Service”. It is a storage service backend for developers that offers “a highly scalable, reliable, and low-latency data storage infrastructure at very low costs”. I was able to speak with Adam Selipsky (Amazon Web Services VP of Product Management and Developer Relations), Dave Barth (Product Manager for Amazon S3) and Andrew Herdener ( Seniro Public Relations Manager for Amazon) today about the service.

They’ve built the back end for the number one requested company that I wrote about late last year - reliable and cheap online storage. I’ve been watching this space very closely, even profiling a number of new entrants, and I have to say that S3 changes the game entirely. Move over Google Drive, Amazon just stole your thunder (for now).
