    Overview

    Amazon Glacier is a secure, durable, and extremely low-cost cloud storage service for data archiving and long-term backup. Customers can reliably store large or small amounts of data for as little as $0.007 per gigabyte per month, a significant savings compared to on-premises solutions. To keep costs low, Amazon Glacier is optimized for infrequently accessed data where a retrieval time of several hours is suitable.

    SoftLayer provides cloud infrastructure as a service from a growing number of data centers and network points of presence around the world. Our customers range from Web startups to global enterprises.

    Products and services include bare metal and virtual servers, networking, turnkey big data solutions, private cloud solutions, and more. Our unique advantages include the industry's first Network-Within-a-Network topology for true out-of-band access, and an easy-to-use customer portal and robust API for full remote-access of all product and service management options.

    InstaCompute is a flexible, cost-effective cloud computing solution that lets you instantly provision virtual machine servers, storage and network infrastructure on a pay-as-you-go basis. It is like paying for computing resources the way you pay for electricity by the amount of time you use the service. InstaCompute offers flexible payment options, security, guaranteed service levels and free 24/7 technical support.
