just build your own storage and save an incredible amount.
It's hard you might think, but it's not. croit.io provides all you need to deploy a scalable cluster even on multiple geographic regions.
Price for 1 PB sized cluster including everything from rack to hardware to license to labor for below 3€/TB/Month or at the Amazon Glacier price tag but with the S3-IA access.
- mister_hn 7y agoWhat about maintenance? Some forget about that... Broken drives, broken RAID, broken NAS. A 120TB SSD NAS might cost over 200k€ ..imagine a 250PB one
- RandomTisk 7y agoSeems like a poor choice. If they're getting an incredible deal with AWS, then fine, but I would be utterly shocked if most seasoned and competent IT professionals couldn't design and build a multi-region storage array for far less than Amazon will charge them.
- driverdan 7y agoAre you seriously suggesting that NASA didn't consider alternatives, like their current self-hosted solutions?
- GordonS 7y agoGiven they "forgot" about egress bandwidth costs, I think the parent's comment was fair.
- dna_polymerase 7y agoDo you want to add your contact details to your post so NASA can get in touch or what is going on here. Add a little disclaimer that you work for/are croit.io so people can instantaneously see why you would argue for the space agency of the U.S. to run their own data storage.
