Amazon S3: 905 Billion Objects Stored, 1 Billion Added Each Day
Amazon has released some fairly impressive numbers showcasing the growth of Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) over the years. By the end of the first quarter of 2012, there were 905 billion objects stored, and the service routinely handles 650,000 requests per second for those objects, with peaks that go even higher. To put that in perspective, that's up from 262 billion objects stored just two years ago and up from 762 billion by Q4 2011.Or maybe it's more impressive when you look further back: 2.9 billion in 2006, for example. And how fast is it growing? Well, says Amazon, every day, over a a billion objects are added. That's how fast.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/quTeE6fjYrA/
