Smartsheet.com Save in Excess of 90% on Storage Costs


Smartsheet.com is a web-based solution for managing tasks, projects and processes. They provide solutions for a variety of industries, companies ranging from small business to Fortune 500, with a strong base of marketing and human resource professionals. 
As Smartsheet.com (www.smartsheet.com) continued to grow they realized that they needed an inexpensive scalable storage solution for managing all of the content they were offering and their customer's created documents.

Furthermore, Smartsheet's customer base, required a high level of security and reliability for content storage. After examining several solutions for document attachments, including Rackspace, Smartsheet.com turned to the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) from Amazon Web Services.

"Amazon is a trusted brand on the web   and thanks to Amazon Web Services, our users have a very high level of comfort with storing their business and personal information through Smartsheet.com." said Mark Mader, President, Smartsheet.com.

Smartsheet.com is pleased with the savings too. "We save in excess of 90% on storage costs and more than 80% on data transfer costs.  Because our cost to operate is improved, our addressable market has broadened to include individuals and micro businesses," said Mader. "In addition to the storage cost savings, we were able to avoid renting unused server capacity at our current hosting provider."

    S3 seems to be great for small and medium developers. It will be great to get feedback from someone who has worked on a facebook application using the S3 service and what are the advantages that developer got versus another hosting service.
