Amazon Launches Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS)
June 15th, 2010
Amazon Web Services has launched Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS) option within Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
RRS enables Amazon S3 customers to lower data storage costs by storing non-critical, reproducible data at lower levels of redundancy than Amazon S3’s standard.
“Amazon S3 standard storage is designed to provide 99.999999999% durability and to sustain the concurrent loss of data in two facilities, while RRS is designed to provide 99.99% durability and to sustain the loss of data in a single facility,” the press release says.
