cloud gis - Google Fusion Tables vs Amazon Web Services: which is better for GIS data?


What are the pros/cons for storing storing spatial data in Google Fusion Tables versus Amazon Web Services?


Factors would include: Cost, performance, ease of update.



Answer



Fusion Tables has storage limitations where AWS/EC2 is fully scalable to 5000TB.


S3 users could only store objects up to 5GB. Amazon Web Services has decided to lift that limit and allow block storage up to 5TB

Fusion storage limits - 250 MB per user account: 1 million characters per cell. And upload limits - 1 MB per spreadsheet, 100 MB per .csv or KML.


[There is no option currently to purchase or upgrade this]
