How would that work with drives of 1.5 terabytes ? Is it even possible ?
There comes a point when the cloud becomes less cost-effective than
rolling your own to another facility. But that break-even point is
probably a lot higher than you might think. Check out the pricing for
Amazon S3 (
http://aws.amazon.com/s3/#pricing) .. storage over 5000 TB
is $0.055 per GB.
Consider a single 1.5TB array. Amazon S3 will cost $225 per month for
the 1.5TB plus $0.15 per GB transferred in/out, so with good
compression and a "net change" backup scheme, it would likely cost
$300 to $400 per month for 1.5TB. That compares favorably for an
enterprise-class backup system capable of managing 1.5TB, whether to
tape or to disk.
