Our prices will aways be lower than Amazon S3, I can tell this for sure.
But our main advantage is support - you can always open a ticket and get an answer on your question within 24 hours, but usually much faster.
- dap 13y agoPresumably, Amazon gets enormous volume discounts for the disk drives that would be a main cost of running S3, and they run their business with notoriously tiny margins. It would seem nearly impossible to undercut them for the same product at the same level of service.
- ddorian43 13y agowhat about bandwidth price?
- S3ForMe 13y agoRight now it is $0.04 per GB which is 3 times cheaper than Amazon and customers with a lot of traffic will get additional discounts.
- ddorian43 13y agowhat happens if a file becomes very popular? like a ddos or a very popular video how many servers can transmit one file?
- S3ForMe 13y agoEach file is stored at 3 different servers at the same time. Hot files are moved to RAM automatically and will be served very fast without even touching the disks. Our tests shows that each servers group has about 500Mb/s free bandwidth capacity at this time. And it can be increased to several Tb/s in a matter of days if needed. Additional servers will be added in 2-3 days do the server group if necessary.
