<p class="MsoNormal">Morning all,<br>
<br>
My first impression of the rates is a bit contrary to others on this thread. Specifically, I don’t see them as great value for data storage if you are using them for off-site storage.<br>
<br>
Two caveats to my comment are:<br>
- assuming that you are using AWS for off-site backup then you just need a good NAS (we set this up as NAS with Raid 6 plus 1 spare giving 26TB usable space, good performance and resilience with option to replicate to multi datacentres/locations) in 2ru.<br>
- Even if you are using AWS as highly available clustered storage they are still not that well priced by our price book.<br>
<br>
Even using their online price calculator 26TB of usable space (standard storage) costs $2,856.70pm or $34,280.40pa or $102,841.20 over 3 years and it’s not hard to do better than that.<br>
<br>
What am I missing?<u></u><u></u></p>

I just read their prices this morning and I'm astounded as how low they've kept them.<br>
They have to be selling at a loss.<br>

Just check them out here.<br>
