Internal Costs Per Gigabyte — What Do You Pay? 420

Posted by timothy from the wonder-what-the-dept-of-education-pays dept.
CodePwned writes "I recently took over a position at a rather large company where I discovered my group was paying $30 per gigabyte per month! That's $360 per year per gigabyte to our own IT department. While I understand costs are different depending on the scale, redundancy, backup and support methods, there doesn't seem to be any good papers on what range you should expect your costs to be. So far, my research shows an average of $1 per gigabyte or less for internally hosted space. What do you pay?"

Comment Give me one core and a good beer. (Score 1) 661

Anything past two isn't going to help me for what I use my computer for the vast majority of the time. I have much less time to play computer games these days and everything with Firefox or other common applications are single processes anyway. I'd rather spend my money on beer than extra cores.

4 Cores? 6 Cores? Do You Care? 661

An anonymous reader writes "Intel has updated its processor price list earlier today. Common sense suggests that Intel may not care that much anymore whether its customers know what they are actually buying. One new six-core processor slides in between six-core and quad-core processors – and its sequence number offers no clues about cores, clock speed, and manufacturing process. If we remember the gigahertz race just a decade ago, it is truly stunning to see how the CPU landscape has changed. Today, processors carry sequence numbers that are largely meaningless."
