Any European Software Developer or Business Now Has Easy Access to Highly Scalable, Reliable, Fast and Inexpensive Data Storage in the Cloud

Expensive Amazon S3 for Europeans

Cost Factor	Europe ($)	United States ($)	Difference ($)
Storage (per GB/Month)	0.18	0.15	0.03
Requests (Per 1,000 PUT or LIST requests)	0.012	0.010	0.002
Requests (Per10,000 GET and all other requests
Data Transfer (per GB - all data transfer)	0.10		0.00
per GB - first 10 TB / month data transfer	0.18
next 40 TB / month data transfer	0.16
More then 50 TB / month data transfer	0.13

Here we can see, accept Data Transfer charges, other pricing factor have some difference due to some geographic regions.

Overall Amazon s3 will be quite expensive for European Users comparatively U.S. users.

But don’t worry, Bucket explorer helps you in cost cutting in your monthly Amazon s3 billings.

Bucket explorer knows which data should be transfer and how:

1. Amazon s3 charges us on every ACL update requests and suppose we are uploading same object which is already uploaded on Amazon s3. Here Amazon resets the ACL permissions while objects are overwritten. But Bucket explorer handles this situation by preserving the previous ACL permissions settings and saves your money.

2. Some times we are uploading same object more than two times. Here Bucket explorer checks and avoid unwanted upload download process and saves your unwanted data transfer. Even prompts you to overwrite with existing one. And If you by mistake clicks on "overwrite" or "Overwrite to all" button, Bucket Explorer will again checks and compare the objects on its bases and upload only those object which are really needed to be uploaded.

So have a Happy Billing :)

Offline search in online data: for Amazon S3

One of the facts with online working is, online working always slower then off line working. I mean to say that if we work on any web application instead of windows application, we will find it always works slower then windows application. Means if we are working with enormous amount of online data files and folders we need patient, especially when we are finding some thing in our online data storage.

Like if we have lots of files and folders in our Amazon s3 account and we need to find something in this S3 account, it takes too much time as well as frustrates our potential efforts.

But now I have good news for Amazon S3 user. Minalyzer Desktop is the unique software which resolves this problem. Minalyzer desktop provides faster search by creating an index file. It stores complete details of each and every bucket in index file. After complete indexing, it search within index, by just specifying of few keywords and you will have necessary results in a few seconds. Even you can search in Amazon s3 bucket without any internet connectivity (offline searching).

few powerful features of Minalyzer desktop are as following:

1. It will be helpful while we have multiple Amazon s3 account. We can search in multiple Amazon s3 accounts.

2. It provides easy customization options for Amazon s3 bucket searching. By this option we can specify indexing service on few important buckets instead of all buckets.

3. Save searched results for future use and so on.

Use Bucket Explorer for Amazon S3

First of all i would like to introduce the Amazon S3. Amazon S3 is unlimited online storage service. It allows you to upload, download, share and access your data remotely.

One of the good things about S3 is that everything's stored in multiple data centers and make available your data from your nearest data center. You don't really get that if you've got your own server or a regular hosting provider. That's why i like the idea of storing my business data on S3. I am also using s3 for my web images and flash demo movies instead of expansive web server spaces.

But Amazon S3 provides only web service interface for developers thats why Bucket Explorer is developed for all types of users who want to use Amazon S3 services easily.

Bucket Explorer is a FREE platform independent application, which can run on both Microsoft Windows and Linux based operation systems. It is equipped with so many advanced features. like use can;

• easily upload/download files and whole folder structure. Even bucket explorer allows you to upload any file in two modes:
• upload file: if user wants to access any shared file then file will be downloaded on his local drive then open.
  
• upload as html file: In this mode if user wants to access any file, then will be directly open in web browser.
  
• easily share files and folders with other users in two modes
• Share with unlimited time period: In this mode user generate the public url of a file and share with others.
  
• Share with limited time period: In this mode user defines the expiry time of the public url. After expiration of url, user cannot use access the shared file. this type of url is also known as public signed url.
  
• easily track bucket count by using of Bucket Count option, because Amazon S3 allows only 100 bucket for each account.
• easily set user access permissions on buckets and their files and folders.
• easily track data transfer activities on any bucket by using of Bucket Logging. It is also helps you to calculate monthly bill. You can also track those IPs who are accessing your shared data.

Windows Search V/S Desktop Search

Actually, Windows 2000 and Windows XP have two ways to search files: a slow way and a fast way.

The slow way is to go into start»Search. It will take several minutes, if not longer, to find the files you are looking for. And, of course, it will not show you extracts like Minalyzer Desktop Search will.

Windows XP also supports the notion of indexing. If you can figure out how to use it, you might be able to perform fast searches.

The problem is that Windows XP is not very friendly with indexing. Windows XP starts indexing at unexpected intervals, and the process of indexing slows your computer to a crawl.

In fact, many Windows experts recommend that you turn off Windows XP indexing. See the Blog for instructions on how to do this.

In contrast, Minalyzer Desktop Search's indexing is friendlier and uses only the processing power available that you are not using.

And, Minalyzer Desktop Search is a lot easier to use.

Need of Log Analysis

Most web servers are providing the log files to the webmasters to track activity of their web sites. These log files saves everything related to website like

• requested page URL
• request date time
• User IP
• requested server IP
• referral URL(from where the page was requested)
• byte served or received details
• user agent type and
• so many other useful client server related information.
  

These all details are combined into a single line for every request and all requests are combined in single file. And every single file contains whole day activity.

But when we discuss about website, then every website runs on world wide so its log files contains too much data. This data is too much for human beings to understand but machines can process this data easily and log/data analysis programs can analyze this data easily and gives you meaning full results.

Minalyzer is one of the products in log analysis market which is specially developed for the webmaster or other administrative person. It helps in efficient web site administration and economic search engine optimization. We can also see some useful use cases of Minalyzer which represents its capability and representation style.

1. Visitor activity for tracking visitor activity.
2. Visitor analysis for spam tracking and junk traffic analysis.
3. Add campaign Analysis.
4. Error Analysis for Broken link analysis, client server performance analysis and so on.

Minalyzer also allows the user to create own reports as per their requirements and export reports in most popular formats for further processing or personal use.
