Saas - AWS: Storage

• Amazon’s storage web service provides a cost effective solution for storing and retrieving data easily. Amazon’s simple storage service (S3) and Elastic Book Store (EBS) are the main services in this area.
  Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3): Amazon S3 makes it easy for developers to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time from anywhere in the web. Using hashing technology where data is stored in key value pairs. The value being data objects and key a unique identifier assigned to a developer, it provides a fast, efficient and durable way for storing data.
• Amazon Elastic Book Store(EBS): Amazon EBS provides block storage instances that work independently of Amazon EC2 instances. They can act as backup data stores for EC2 instances by providing file-system like volumes that can be mounted on the machine.
