Businesses are running their photo, video, and file cloud storage applications in AWS to lower costs, improve time-to-market and easily scale their storage. AWS's object storage service, Amazon S3, stores hundreds of billions of objects, and it is built to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. Amazon S3 is designed to provide 99.999999999% durability and 99.99% availability over a given year for your cloud storage needs. Amazon S3 offers low, pay-as-you-go pricing, so businesses only pay for the storage they use. Plus, getting started with AWS is fast. You can sign-up and start storing your files in a matter of minutes.
