AWS Announces Data Transfer Pricing

As of April 1st, the Data Transfer Out pricing tier for individual regions will be based on total Data Transfer Out usage within that region for Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, Amazon Simple DB, Amazon RDS, Amazon SQS and Amazon VPC.

The benefit for users will be the ability to reach higher usage tiers and lower pricing in a quicker manner. Previous usage tiers were calculated individually based on data transfer related to that service, and it will now be aggregated. AWS will also offer a complimentary tier which provides your first GB of outbound transfer in each region each month at no charge.

Google Will Now Cover All Apps with Advanced Back Up

Google has announced a new disaster recovery feature in Google Apps - synchronous data replication which is the real-time replication of data in multiple servers and data centers. This will allow every piece of data that is entered or changed to be backed up in almost real time to ensure a full disaster recovery. While this feature has been used for the past few years in Gmail, Google has now extended it to include all applications within the Google Apps portfolio. This news may help many make the decision to move towards cloud based recovery versus on-premise back up.

Users can still use tools such as LTech’s Google Docs tool to backup on Amazon S3 or local file system to ensure access regardless of internet connectivity. Follow the link to the tool here: http://www.ltech.com/google-apps/products/google-docs-backup
