I'd recommend installing OpenStack's Swift component (S3 equivalent) and evaluating that as well. You can run it on one node for development purposes, you can scale it up if you want private object storage on your network, and many public clouds are offering it: Rackspace Cloud Servers, HP Cloud, AT&T, Korea Telecom, Internap etc

Wikipedia use OpenStack Swift to store their images, and have some good presentations on this.

Swift is very powerful piece of technology, but it is also more involved to setup. Curious to try RiakCS as well and see how it compares to Swift for running production level S3 object storage.

http://devstack.org has a script to deploy OpenStack in two lines (git clone the repo, then run the script)

Looks like I need to post my blog post about how to set up Swift really easily!

My twitter handle is @jubos. I would love to see how you approach it.

Isn't RiakCS an online service, like S3 itself? That's what I understand from the basho page...
