I wish, we asked our university and they essentially wanted to charge ridiculous amounts to our research group. IIRC we asked about 100TB and their estimated cost was like 10k euros a year. Regarding your dumping data comment. Yes that's certainly an issue. The problem is that researchers are required to do this, but there is no real consideration of the time this takes (it does not make a difference to your career/reputation etc. if you publish good or bad data), it's really out of the expertise of most researchers and there is little help provided by universities.
