Hi Jim I just checked our costs for storing about 70 GB with about 15 GB datatransfer each month. That is about USD 12 to Amazon (variable) and USD 2 to Jungle Disk (fixed). In total, less than USD 15 each month. We've never used as it is our third-level "should-anything-else-fail backup" or "data insurance", I just perform a sample check from time to time that data exists. /gustav >>> Gustav at cactus.dk 05-11-12 19:38 >>> Hi Jim We use the white label of Jungle Disk: https://www.jungledisk.com/reseller_program/overview/Default.aspx Very simple, very reliable, and very cheap. /gustav >>> accessd at shaw.ca 05-11-12 18:22 >>> That sounds very interesting. I would be interested in hearing how you managed the process, at least in some broad stroke. I have not, yet, permanently, moved any clients but am thinking of trying a small couple of month test, like a backup or setting and data for a remote client...like the contents under their user account. The security concerns me and I have been looking at routers and switches with encryption/de-encryption firmware. Software tend to be too slow and as of yet hardware too expensive; for just a test. Have tried a small database but the results were inconclusive and the project has languished as real work takes precedence.

Recently, however, I used an ASP.NET provider for hosting a small Lightswitch application. Runs great but, of course, not for a limited audience. /gustav -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] På vegne af Jim Lawrence Sendt: 4. november 2012 21:28 Til: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Emne: Re: [dba-Tech] An OSS database for Dropbox Amazon seems to be leading contender in the Cloud world. Docummentation suggests they support Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, Windows with .NET (C# and VB) and now a version of MongoDB (No SQL/Map Reduce) along with their version of SQL Database (Amazon RDS). They also support virtual drive drag and drop capabilities. Have you have any experience with deploying Cloud applications? Jim
