Ask HN: What was the HN thread on building own server for photo start-up?
Hi! I was wondering what was the HN thread about some photo start-up building own servers rather than using AWS because own infrastructure was about a third the cost of using Amazon S3 for storage.
I have been Google-ing for many hours and used "site:news.ycombinator.com" along w/ date-range and several keywords, but was unsuccessful in finding that post.
The post was a discussion here on HN + link to a blog post on the company website. I cannot remember the name of the company, but I think it began with the letter "C".
Here is some things that I found that are somewhat related to what I am looking for but not exactly want I want:

The post was made several weeks ago (I think - so fairly recently). I would really appreciate it if you can help me in finding it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
- marklabedz 15y agoI can't find the HN discussion, but the Backblaze Pods have been discussed here a few times: http://blog.backblaze.com/2011/07/20/petabytes-on-a-budget-v2-0revealing-more-secrets/ http://blog.backblaze.com/2011/07/20/petabytes-on-a-budget-v... EDIT: Sorry - just realized the bioteam.net discussion centered on Backblaze pods.
