Amazon S3 Saves SmugMug half a million

by on November 10, 2006

Interesting writeup by Don Macaskill, CEO of SmugMug, who tells why Amazin is saving his photosharing service big bucks.

  • These are some impressive stats! I think that I would definitely trust Amazon to do this stuff. At first glance, this sounds like a great deal. Thanks for the info.
  • Webmail.us just announced that they are using S3, EC2, and SQS--all three of Amazon's web services. It's very, very cool. And *much* more interesting than much of what passes for "news" in the tech blogosphere.
  • I've done some research on the Online Data Storage companies as well as the traditional hardware companies.

    You can get a list of all the players in the market from this Wiki that a group of trusted community folks are adding to:

  • Amazon is a multidimensional cost cutter. Add Smugmug to the list.
