This is still crazy expensive. Cloud providers have really warped people’s expectations.
- winrid 3y agoWell, for us it's actually really cheap because we really just want the compute. The bandwidth is just a bonus. Actually, since the Akami acquisition it would be even cheaper. $800/mo to serve 100TB with fairly high bandwidth and low latency from cold storage is a good deal IMO. I know companies paying millions a year to serve less than a third of that through AWS when you include compute, DB, and storage.
- qeternity 3y agoFine, but now you’re changing the comparison. Spending millions on compute with low bandwidth requirements doesn’t make it stupid. It probably still is, but that’s a different conversation.
- winrid 3y agolol no, it sure is. But OP didn't give a price range or durability requirements...
- winrid 3y agoYou could do it through interserver for $495/mo (5 20gb sata disks, 150tb free bandwidth). 10gbps link. 128gb ram for page cache. Backups probably wouldn't be much more.
