These days Nasuni company out of a report analyzing the performance of each cloud vendor's cloud storage, including Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Drive, HP and Rackspace. Azure performance which ranked first in reading and writing files of various sizes performance are excellent, they are interested can refer to the complete White Paper: http://www6.nasuni.com/the-state-of-cloud-storage -in-2013-nasuni-industry- report.html
Today we look at some of the different functions and indicators Azure Blob Storage and Amazon Simple Storage Service of.
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is Amazon's flagship storage services, provides a powerful scalability, high availability and disaster recovery. It provides the following functions:
1, read, write, delete data objects, from 1 byte to 5TB can, no limit to the number of data objects.
2, each data object is placed in a data block (bucket), a unique key access.
3, the different data block is stored in the Amazon region.
4, the data is stored in a region never leave this area.
5, the authentication mechanism aimed at ensuring data security to prevent unauthorized access. Data objects can be set to private or public, may also grant permission to specific users.
6, in addition to providing a secure data upload / download and static data encryption options to further protect your data.
7, using standards-based REST and SOAP interfaces that can be used with any Internet Development Kit for use with.
8, the default download protocol is HTTP. Providing BitTorrent ™ protocol interface, in order to reduce the cost of large-scale distribution.
9, the management-related functions, including data blocks divided data, monitoring and control costs, as well as to the use of redundant memory (Reduced Redundancy Storage) and the like.
Basically, Amazon's storage provide 99.999999999% durability and 99.99% availability of the data in a given year, it can withstand two facilities, while data is lost. Of course, if you are using RDS, then provide 99.99% durability and 99.99% availability of the data in a given year. The average annual loss rate of this persistent data corresponding level is estimated to be 0.01%.
S3 a more interesting feature is a static website hosting, and even do some simple Redirect, S3 because the price is cheap, especially for hosting contain static content (including html files, images, video, and JavaScript and other client-side scripting) website.
In addition, S3 also supports a feature called DevPay to support developers to charge the customer data stored in their S3 accounts through Amazon.

In addition, Amazon also offers a cheaper backup storage services, as Amazon Glacier, this is beyond the scope of this one. After that we can specifically discuss the issue.
Amazon S3 provides a complete REST API, can be operated from any code, in addition to Bucket also offers a number of security policies, can be a variety of different operations to enable and disable, and so on.
Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
Azure Blob Storage is the easiest way to a large number of unstructured text or binary data (such as video, audio and images) for storing, functionally similar, and S3. Mainly provides the following functions:
1, read, write, delete data objects, from 1 byte to 1TB can be, there is no limit the number of data objects.
2, each data object is placed in a container (Container), the access key by two mutually backup.
3, stored in different areas.
4, the data is stored in an area, if you are using geographic redundancy storage will be backed up from Europe to America.
5, the authentication mechanism aimed at ensuring data security to prevent unauthorized access. Data objects can be set to private or public, may also grant permission to specific users.
6, using standards-based REST and SOAP interfaces that can be used with any Internet Development Kit for use with.
7, the default download protocol is HTTP.
8, related management functions, including data divided by the container, monitoring storage account.
9, Blob object can be mounted as a drive
I did not find in Azure documentation on Persistent percentage, perhaps Microsoft believes that as long as these data into the Azure, certainly not lost, there is no need to provide as much 9 a.
In Azure, the memory is divided into local and geographical redundancy redundant memory storage. Local redundant memory (LRS) to provide highly durable within a single sub-region and highly available storage. Geographic redundancy storage (GRS) is by the addition of your data stored in another sub-region within the same area to provide the highest level of persistence. By default, the storage account to geographic redundancy. If the customer does not need this extra level of persistence, you can turn off their storage accounts geographic redundancy default settings.
For different storage methods, prices vary:

我们可以看出，在存储价格上，S3和Azure的标准存储和地理冗余存储价格基本一致，而Azure的本地冗余价格还要比降低冗余存储更便宜。对请求来说，S3区分了不同的请求而出现不同的价格，而Azure统一了所有的请求，但是价格非常便宜。十万个请求才一美分，几乎可以忽略。对于流量而言，微软的前5G流量免费，而S3的前1G流量免费。其他的价格，欧美的价格基本一样，而亚洲价格微软比较有竞争力。
