When Comparing TCO…

When calculating TCO… #1 Understand the difference between useable vs. raw storage capacity and know your utilization

Pay less per unit when you use more

Massive economies of scale andefficiency improvements allow us to continually lower prices

When he [CFO]sees the savings in our AWS monthly bill, he thinks that it is mewho is working hard on driving the costs down and increasingefficiency of the company’s infrastructure.
