Amazon S3 uses the same scalable storage infrastructure that Amazon.com uses to run its global e-commerce network.  – Wikipedia

S3 in some other words

It is a scalable, high-speed, web-based cloud storage service designed for online backup and archiving of data and applications on Amazon Web Services.
