Amazon S3 is a service that provides internet storage to complement developers and newer web-based businesses. Standing for "Simple Storage Service," Amazon promotes S3 as a cost effective method of attaining online infrastructure without renting servers or buying hard drive space. The storage system utilizes the same systems that facilitate Amazon's own websites, allowing users to store and access data as if it were kept on their own hardware. Official Site: Amazon S3
