Amazon S3

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is storage for the Internet. It is designed to store and retrieve any amount of data at any time, from anywhere on the web. It stores data as objects within resources called "buckets". You can store as many objects as you want within a bucket, and write, read, and delete objects in/from your bucket.
