Hi All,
In evaluating the cost of implementing either CVO or FSxO, is there such term called Per-TB cost? My manager asked me to look into it.
I know there are CVO or FSxO calculator out there, but the factors not only include capacity, also the instance, storage efficiency, and tiering etc. I don't think it can be generalized by using Per-TB cost.
Can you please help and share your thoughts?

Have you tried our calculators? https://bluexp.netapp.com/calculator-hub

@shut ember Yes, I've already gone through TCO link, and I know how to get the number of the cost per GB and it could be calculated by using the cost of CVO/FSxO and divided by the storage space. My question is, how valuable or how often this figure (cost per GB/TB) is used? because it ignored other technical details, like ec2 instance type, networking throughput.. etc. So, I am wondering what is "PER-TB" meaningful use cases?

While we don’t list in the per TB pricing or in TCO calculators, for more granular estimates that take into account all of those “specs” the NetApp cloud specialists for AWS, Azure, and GCP respectively can assist in scoping. In some instances (pun intended 🙂 ) the NetApp team will need to work with people at the cloud providers to truly properly scope. In my experience, the details outside of cost/TB/GB are so unique to workload, project, customer that it requires a conversation to level set.
