[TriLUG] Fwd: Amazon S3 Lowers Standard Storage Prices

[Keith Woodie]

If you use Amazon's S3, then storage just got a bit cheaper...Hopefully
rackspace will come down a bit too.

 Dear Amazon S3 Customer,

We are excited to announce that we have reduced the Amazon S3 standard
storage prices in all regions. With this price change, all Amazon S3
standard storage customers will see a reduction in their storage costs. For
instance, if you store 50 TB of data on average, you’ll see a 12% reduction
in costs. If you store 500 TB of data on average, you’ll see a 13.5%
reduction in costs. The price reduction applies to all of your standard
storage- both existing storage and all new storage you add. Here is a
summary of price changes for the US Standard region:
                       Old      New
First 1TB         $0.140    $0.125
Next 49TB        $0.125    $0.110
Next 450TB       $0.110    $0.095
Next 500TB       $0.095    $0.090
Next 4000TB     $0.080    $0.080 (no change)
Over 5000TB     $0.055    $0.055 (no change)

The new lower prices for all regions can be found on the Amazon S3 Detail

New prices are effective February 1st and will be applied to your bill for
all storage on or after this date.

We are happy to pass along these savings to you as we continue to innovate
and drive down our costs.

Sincerely,
The Amazon S3 Team
