Amazon.com has introduced the Simple Storage Service (S3), a
commodity-priced storage utility. S3 aims to provide storage as a
low-cost, highly available service, with a simple 'pay-as-you-go' charging model. This article makes three contributions. First, we
evaluate S3's ability to provide storage support to large-scale
science projects from a cost, availability, and performance
perspective. Second, we identify a set of additional functionalities
that storage services targeting data-intensive science applications
should support. Third, we propose unbundling the success
metrics for storage utility performance as a solution, to reduce
storage costs.
