But they've got S3 which IS a business product (actually a large
proportion of web sites with big traffic are using it, among them quite
a few other music services).
And that has a pretty similar pricing structure. With full backups and
all of that.
They start at 1680$ per year per TB for low volumes and go down to 660$
per TB per year for large volumes.
Again: That's with full redundancy, with lower SLAs they get even
cheaper.
