We use Rackspace. They have a new part to their cloud offer, which I've not yet
tried but which sounds helpful if you have large storage needs because it lets
you buy what you need without scaling up the server as a whole. Cloud Blocks, I
think it's called. Ah yes, here it is:
We're using S3 for our collections images with a security policy to reserve
the full-size versions. It wasn't a very researched decision except that we
were already using AWS and like it. I'd be curious to hear from anyone who
did more research and went another direction...?

We use Azure for one project with a few thousand images. We took a close look
at the charges for additions to the store as well as traffic charges - hosting
the data is just one part of the cost. It worked for us, and has been reliable,
but you need to do your sums.
