Amazon Simple Storage Service
Founded on the idea that quality Internet-based storage should be taken for grant ed, Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) gives its partners and their customers access to the same secure, highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites.
With Amazon S3, rapid access to stored files is guaranteed. The system can be repaired with no downtime, so your service will never be interrupted. Monitoring its own performance, Amazon S3 adds nodes to the system at any sign of sluggishness. With such speed and reliablity—and such a commitment to constant improvement—Amazon S3 is ideally suited to support high-performance applications like the Nasuni Filer.
As your file storage needs expand, so will Amazon S3. Because of the system’s design, its performance only improves as it scales. Adding nodes increases its availability, speed, throughput, capacity, and robustness. Also by design, Amazon S3 does not rely on a specific hardware for its infrastructure, so it can get the best price for repairs and expansion, keeping the cost of its service very low.
Amazon S3 is committed to its partners and to you. Going forward, it will continue to maximize the benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to you. It will store any amount of data you generate, inexpensively and securely, and will ensure that your files are always available when you need them.
