When news breaks, you cannot afford to wait 5 hours for the asset.

Choosing amazon for your 100 backup/archive strategy simply means your shift the responsibility from choosing the right disk to choosing the right service

Traditional back up storage and management is a nightmare of convoluted, overpriced software ill-spent man hours and dead-end hardware.

I hope someone puts pretty wrapper and an SLA bow on glacier and decapitates the entire crusty industry.

Do you know what method of storage AWS Glacier uses?

Very cool!
