-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I have requested if AWS can support with this service. I am hoping to have an answer in the next week or so. However there is one question I wanted to pose to the collective who are managing this service about the data store (not the database - that's no problem). AWS has several storage options, amongst which one is S3 (live online storage - http://aws.amazon.com/s3) and one of which is cold storage/archive by name of Glacier (http://aws.amazon.com/glacier). Glacier is significantly more cost effective, with access to 'restoring' archives from Glacier taking a 3-5 hour wait. S3 and Glacier are integrated by way of "S3-Archive", whereby files (objects) in S3 can be transparently migrated to Glacier storage in the background after some period. When one of these archived files is required, a client may call a restore on this file (object), and within 3-5 hours (as above) a copy of the object is retrieved and pushed back into live S3 for a number of days (using the S3 Reduced Redundancy service). We would need to create a front end interface that lets people request the 'restore' of an archived file (and a notification when its available) in a controlled manner. When you restore a file, its 'revived' back into S3 storage where it can be accessed - for a number of days before being purged from S3 (it still remains in the archive cold storage until deleted permanently). To give some more colour to this scenario - fresh files could be left in S3 for 365 days, and then archived. When we restore an object, we could do so for a month. I would appreciate feedback from the group if is this is useful.
