Internal Costs Per Gigabyte — What Do You Pay? 420
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?"

If it's internal why would you have to pay per year for that?
The 30lb bags of Purina IT Chow are a recurring cost.

Full service IT at it's best.
Apostrophe usage at its worst.
