6 months of free storage is a no brainer business strategy. Once you get anywhere near 100PB of data loaded, are you really going to move it elsewhere after 6 months?
- rsync 11y agoWe (rsync.net) maintain 's3cmd' and 'gsutil' in our environment, so you can do direct cloud <--> cloud transfers from either amazon or google to and from rsync.net. We don't have a cold storage product, so perhaps not relevant for nearline ... but it is relevant for their online options. You do have the ability to migrate to another provider. Two random notes: - we're announcing zfs send/recv[1] as a transport in the next few days and there will be s3-competitive pricing for this product at TB+ levels. - "HN readers discount" is still available all these years later. Just email. [1] over SSH
- underscores 11y agoIf you have tons of TBs, you don't want to care about random failure with some third party. Amazon S3 has the reputation that they never lost a file, AFAIK. On their scale that provides an argument to just fork over the cash and forget about it. While I think ZFS is great, it's just not a solution for really large storage. Also, if you are still using s3cmd, that only tells me how inexperienced you are.
- rsync 11y ago"Also, if you are still using s3cmd, that only tells me how inexperienced you are." I'm not sure you understand how s3cmd is being used in the above context ... the idea is this: ssh user@rsync.net s3cmd get s3://rsynctest/mscdex.exe Also, we've been doing this longer than Amazon has.
