Yes, but then you wouldn’t use S3 for that either so the price comparisons are misleading.

  Best for archive and backup. You can also see how Vivint uses them to store video clips and stream them to customers when needed: https://crowdstorage.com/solutions/ https://crowdstorage.com/solutions/

  > but then you wouldn’t use S3 for that either Why do you have that impression? S3 and similar are used a lot for backups, especially Glacier.

    Another thread I posted a little bit about how we are compared to glacier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26582429 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26582429 Glacier can get pricey when you store/retrieve your data because of ops, retrieval fees, and egress (if going to the internet). We feel like immediate availability is a compelling advantage of our product.
