Amazon launches web storage service
Amazon S3 (which stands
for "Simple Storage Service") is a new web service that basically extends Amazon's huge data storage and

Amazon’s own benefits of massive scale with no up-front investment or performance compromises," goes the
press release. Storing data with S3 costs $0.15 per gigabyte per month and $0.20 for each gigabyte transferred. The
service is intended for web developers only, meaning it can be accessed with common APIs but not directly by end users,
but files of any type up to 5GB may be stored and each file has a unique URL. It even has a built-in BitTorrent
interface. It looks great for developers that have big ideas (and big data) but don't have the resources to build a big
infrastructure themselves.[Via TechCrunch]
