Cutcaster is heading next week to Amazon's web conference here in NYC where they will be talking about their different web service products and services. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), for example, is an impressive offering for storage on the internet. Check out these rates.
Storage
$0.15 per GB-Month of storage used
Data Transfer
$0.10 per GB - all data transfer in
$0.18 per GB - first 10 TB / month data transfer out
$0.16 per GB - next 40 TB / month data transfer out
$0.13 per GB - data transfer out / month over 50 TB
Data transfer "in" and "out" refers to transfer into and out of Amazon S3.
Data transferred between Amazon S3 and Amazon EC2 is free of charge
Requests
$0.01 per 1,000 PUT or LIST requests
$0.01 per 10,000 GET and all other requests*
* No charge for delete requests
Storage and bandwidth size includes all file overhead.
They are going to be tough to beat at those rates. We have spoken to a few other companies that do parts of what S3 does and they are not even in the same ballpark. I really love what Amazon has done here. One company to look out for is Nirvanix who just recieved funding and will be a competitor to AWS.
We will let you know how the conference goes and what we think of AWS when we come back.
Also check out this start-up contest Amazon is putting on for companies who are using their services.
