I would've bought Google Apps unlimited for Work. Do you know if is there any possibility to make a group of 5 people and have not shared accounts? So each one will use his own unlimited space?
I agree with rm_ that Amazon could work better in terms of speed and solutions, but as of now it's a bit too much expensive for me (at least to reach 10TB).
Chinese cloud I can't really consider it: capped everywhere and the service can disappear tomorrow.
Well, if what they say is true you get 5 users each with unlimited disks. Use one, sell the others. :P
But I really think, 1 will have unlimited.
Thanks for the heads up Radi
Anyway it's written in the link you posted:
"Unlimited Storage (or 1TB per user if fewer than 5 users)"
10TB w/ replication (or at least raid) isn't going to come cheap.. Hubic is your best bet.
Fast. Cheap. Lots of storage.
Pick 2.
Actually I just finished a backup with hubiC.
I made a backup of 85 GB and it took something like 8.5h. We can assume that it takes (at least with my setup - Kimsufi KS-2) 10h to backup 100 GB.
Google it. Lol.
I didn't say 10TB on a single drive. After some discount you can get 5TB per $120-130 -- I saw the prices on Amazon US.
I wonder what are you talking about. Did you click the link I posted above?
I was speaking about S3
As I posted above, I live in Europe and Unlimited Cloud by Amazon is not available here
People are signing up from Europe just fine: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/30dpvo/amazon_cloud_now_offering_unlimited_storage_for/cprmnc5 https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/30dpvo/amazon_cloud_now_offering_unlimited_storage_for/cpsacby
This is so weird. I tried and it redirects me to the normal (old) offer as soon as I log-in.
Sorry I didn't, and I was talking something a bit different. I was talking about these as I saw the main purpose is to backup.
Certainly, its not ready for production IMHO.
@nomad > In such cases, I wonder why no one sells NFS space.
Security, lack of expertise to scale it and Internet latency can be painful.
It worked on my end (I'm in Europe). Perhaps it's an account issue? Try to sign up with a new one
Well, I don't see how it's any different than most VPSes. Afterall, you make some third party keep sake of your data.
(: Maybe not for crucial, keep-away-from-prying-eyes data but for other stuff such as as a media storage it might make sense.
As for latency, well... If both servers are in the same country it works, NFS has really good speed.
But yeah, scalability might be the issue maybe.
@Nomad - we have been providing NFS storage for 3-4 years, but mostly push customers to be in the same facility as the NFS storage, then we can deliver over a private VLAN or dedicated connection.
@MarkTurner, the worst part of your services is that... It's all in US. Unfortunately it's not as appealing as Europe servers to those who doesn't reside in US and has nothing to do with a US based server.
Also, I have been using NFS for some time and I must say, even within a VPN, the speeds are outstanding. Unfortunately none of my providers ever sold NFS. Some even had trouble understanding what I was asking for (:
@Nomad: Yomura has services in Europe, it just so happens that Delimiter has not bitten the bullet to offer them. The problem is price point, EU power is crazily expensive, coupled with the Euro in the toilet makes it less attractive for them to offer services.
I keep pushing, but its never going to be as cheap as OVH/Hetzner so this is why Delimiter has focussed its efforts on the US and Canada.
I am not sure what sort of performance you have got from NFS over public IP but its incredibly variable and any traffic issues (resends, latency) can cause no end of headaches.

@MrGeneral
I agree. Unfortunately it's not.
@deadbeef and @rm_
Well, I registered with a new account and it did work
Do you of any way to use Amazon Unlimited Cloud with a headless linux server? It'd be amazing 
I've got a single Google Apps for Work account and am currently using 1.6TB. The official quota site also shows "xyz.com got unlimited storage"
Currently various rumors exist, like that it's just temporarily unlimited or that it's only unlimited for people which upgraded from legacy accounts (I did). I contacted the "Google Enterprise Support" a few days ago about the "real" quotas, but they didn't reply yet.
Google Drive gives you really great transfer speeds, I'm usually able to upload files with 30-35MB/s and download looks somewhat similar.
Got a link?
It'd would be extremely good to have Google Drive unlimited with one account. Please, let us know what the Google Drive Team will tell you
We have 8 TB storage for 79.9 EUR/month... a bit expensive comparing to hubiC 10 TB offer
look on amazon, ebay etc use the search term ST8000AS0002 or seagate 8tb archive hdd
Thanks. Found it for $299 on Newegg, which is still more than 200 EUR but hopefully it will come down in price over time.
$299 isnt terrible, considering these drives will be reliable. (from my experience the 5900 drives last alot longer)
backup.pcrx.com/
Unlimited storage for $3,95 month
That looks like a nice offer! Thanks!
However this type of service tend to delete your files if you don't have them on your computer. I was more inclined towards a "unlimited cloud" than a "backup cloud" simply because in the cloud I can really store my files without worrying about having them necessarily also on local. And also clouds (good part of them) offers more features, and API with which you can use third party apps. This way I can use my Linux server
