<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Yes the price
for 5000TB over 3 years is more than 15 million, yet the
hardware would cost less than 2mill, add in racking and
bandwidth it might rise to 5 mil, but nowhere near 10 let
alone 15.<br>

Anyway, AWS isn't used by penny pinchers :D<br>

<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?<o:p></o:p></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>
