Google Storage for Developers
May 23rd, 2010
At Google I/O one of the minor announcements was a cloud based storage offering called Google Storage for Developers.
The product is still in beta and developers can currently sign up to be placed on a waitlist. Given this has been released more than two years after Amazon S3 I would’ve expected that it would not be limited to US developers and US data centers. In comparison to Amazon S3 it is also missing CDN integration, which I think would be very interesting for many, no matter if they also use AppEngine or not.
This was announced hours after Amazon S3 continued to innovate; announcing their Amazon S3 Reduced Redundancy Storage.
