Apples, to apples please.
0.7PB on Amazon S3 reduced redundancy is $582,660 over three years with geo-redundancy and availability across an entire region, and lifecycle to push to Glacier which would drop the price to $289,872 annually given 50,000 monthly uploads and 20% monthly retrieval. No labour when it comes to dealing with equipment failures.
I'd also say that only SMBs and web/internet companies run the equivalent SuperMicro JBODs, most large companies use enterprise storage vendors like EMC, NetApp, HP/3PAR which are premium priced.
- moe 12y agoApples, to apples please. You are right, I should have compared to S3 reduced redundancy, sorry. So we're down to $582k (S3-RR) vs $270k (Hetzner) vs $150k (own hardware). That's still a healthy 2x-4x difference. Glacier If you introduce Glacier then it's not apples-to-apples anymore.
