		garethl on March 27, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Amazon S3 Pricing Changes Effective April 1, 2014 Not sure how you can compare your own servers to s3 - s3 has redundancy built in that can survive the loss of 2 data centers. I'm pretty sure it would be more expensive to roll your own version of that...

See my comment elsewhere with some numbers. You can beat S3 even with the new pricing in many cases. With the old pricing its trivial.

With replication to 3 data centres.
