What Is Amazon S3?

Filed Under s3 

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an online storage web service offered by Amazon Web Services. Amazon S3 provides unlimited storage through a simple web services interface.

Data can be easily stored and retrieved at any time, from anywhere on the web.

Amazon charges in proportion to the amount of data stored and applies charges for sending and receiving data.

Amazon S3 uses the same scalable storage infrastructure that Amazon.com uses to run its own global e-commerce network.

It uses fully decentralized techniques to remove scaling bottlenecks and single points of failure.

Launched in March 2006, Amazon S3 is currently being used by Internet Marketing professionals, small businesses, small Internet start-ups and enterprise clients as a web hosting service, image hosting service, back-up system, and more!

Amazon S3 clients even include global companies like Microsoft, Xerox, Linden Lab (Second Life), WordPress and Webmail.us to name but a few.

Once an account has been setup with the Amazon S3 service you can then use free software like DataBucket Pro or the free firefox plugin S3Fox, to manage your files.

There is even a secure amazon s3 streaming wordpress plugin for those that want to protect their videos (and PDF files) from bandwith theft!

Got a website? Then if you want to protect your S3 hosted files from “hot linking” then software like S3 Downloader is a good solution.
