Cost of 1 terabyte of data on a NetApp Filer

Hi... does any one know the cost of 1 TB of data on various NetApp
filers? I am trying to decide on a filer to purchace...

If someone can provide the breakdown, that would be great...

Do you need 1 TB of usuable? how critical is the data? CIFS, NFS,
ISCSI, FC?

all these questions need to be addressed before you can even decide how
much to buy or which filer you need to purchase.

I'm guessing if you could start with the FAS270 or even the FAS250.

C Kim is correct, you need to give some more info for anyone to make
an intelligent response to your question.

Also keep in mind that the first TB is the most expensive as that
involves the head, licenses, maintenance, etc. Additional TB's are
alot cheaper.

Hi... The data is somewhat critical. It will be the storage over NAS
for a farm of Sharepoint servers. The data will be saved over CIFS. I
will have in total about 10TB of (actual) data all together.

At 1TB even the 270's would suffice, and they are HA capable. However
the performance is not stellar so how critical is that? Availability
is fine, at least in my experience.

However, at 10TB you need to expand beyond the 270; and today the next
step up is the 3020. Much improved on performance on capacity, but
more expensive to be sure.

An old NetApp F760 or F820 setup -- for well under 10,000.00 -- can run
late versions of Ontap and expand up to 3TB of raw data capacity.

The 700's were EOL'd many moons ago and are actually EOS this coming
July. The 800's are also EOL'd though I'm not certain of their EOS
date.
