Amazon launches Simple Storage Service

This is for the small developer who can throw his/her data up on a very cheap responsive storage grid. Michael Arrington at Techcruch profiles the new service offering.

 

Pricing is cheaper than anything else I’ve seen: $0.15 per GB of storage per month, and $0.20 for each GB of data transferred up or downstream. This translates to $15 per month for 100 GB of storage, net of any transfer fees (to move that much data on to S3 would be a one time cost of $20).

 

I’ll have to ask my brother whether it makes sense to move his company’s back end here.
