Google slashes Google Drive storage prices to take on Box & Dropbox | VentureBeat | Cloud | by Harrison Weber. As if the online storage war wasn’t heated enough. In a snub to competing services such as Dropbox and Box, Google announced that it is significantly lowering its prices today. Its 100GB plan, previously at $4.99 per month, is now $1.99. Most interesting, however, is the massive price cut Google made for its 1 terabyte plan. Originally at $49.99, 1TB of storage now costs $9.99 per month.

With this change, Google clarifies that its 15GB plan remains free. This plan, rolled out nearly a year ago, unifies storage across Gmail, Drive, and Google+ Photos. For comparison, Dropbox currently charges $9.99 per month for 100GB of storage. You can take a look at all of the company’s storage offerings here. Quite a few competitors have stepped up to do battle with Dropbox since the service’s unsettling outage earlier this year. Powered by VBProfiles. The Collection of SEO and Web Accessibility Tools.

Layer in the internet ecosystem addressing bottlenecks A content delivery network or content distribution network (CDN) is a geographically distributed network of proxy servers and their data centers. The goal is to provide high availability and performance by distributing the service spatially relative to end users. CDNs came into existence in the late 1990s as a means for alleviating the performance bottlenecks of the Internet[1][2] as the Internet was starting to become a mission-critical medium for people and enterprises.

Since then, CDNs have grown to serve a large portion of the Internet content today, including web objects (text, graphics and scripts), downloadable objects (media files, software, documents), applications (e-commerce, portals), live streaming media, on-demand streaming media, and social media sites.[3] CDNs are a layer in the internet ecosystem. Technology[edit] CDN nodes are usually deployed in multiple locations, often over multiple Internet backbones. Netflix[50] PDFMerge! - Merge PDF files online for free.
