Стильно и здорово
Amazon вчера запустил на своем сервисе S3 новую опцию — Reduced Redundancy Storage, хранилище с меньшей надежностью. Сам запуск очень разумен — мало кому нужна надежность и доступность в 99,999999999%, которая обеспечивается в обычном режиме, их вполне удовлетворит 99,99% надежности, которую гарантирует новый уровень сервиса.
Но как стильно об этом объявлено, оцените:
Using the definition that I stated above, the durability of an object stored in Amazon S3 is 99.999999999%. If you store 10,000 objects with us, on average we may lose one of them every 10 million years or so. This storage is designed in such a way that we can sustain the concurrent loss of data in two separate storage facilities.
If you are using S3 for permanent storage, I’m sure that you need and fully appreciate the need for this level of durability. It is comforting to know that you can simply store your data in S3 without having to worry about backups, scaling, device failures, fires, theft, meteor strikes, earthquakes, or toddlers.
But wait, there’s less!
Not every application actually needs this much durability. In some cases, the object stored in S3 is simply a cloud-based copy of an object that actually lives somewhere else. In other cases, the object can be regenerated or re-derived from other information. Our research has shown that a number of interesting applications simply don’t need eleven 9’s worth of durability.
Выделение мое — как идеально обыгран стандартный штамп! Очень хороший образец того, что на западе называют copywriting.
