[OOTB-hive] Amazon storage assistance

[L. David Zuluaga Botero]

Hi everyone, thanks to everyone who replied !!! (Heimo, Jonathan, Mark,
Douglas, Axel, Jeff and Heiko) and helped me figure this out.

Of course it is not about comparing dropbox and alfresco in deep terms, but
it's clear to me now that the storage cost with Alfresco has many other
implications.

I'll be trying the alfresco-cloud-store add-on so I can deploy Alfresco CE
in AWS effectively using S3 service. Now, as Jeff has pointed out, there
are some current issues with this add-on. I would like to involve myself
and my company's developer in improving this add-on and solving this sort
of issues. Any guess about it? I see the add-on is on the Douglas
Repository. I'll be eager to hear how can we get involved on it.

I'll also have a look at EBS-backed storage.

Many Thanks,

pd. How can Andres (my company's programmer) be added to this mailing list?
