Tiered Storage Savings Calculator

Created on: Mar 2, 2009 9:44 AM by MichaelStevens - Last Modified: Mar 27, 2009 12:45 PM by MichaelStevens

The purpose of this tiered storage spreadsheet is to provide a quick approximation of your savings opportunity if you switch from your current storage deployment to a more rigorous tiered approach. The values this calculator provides are approximations, and can in no way obviate the need for a careful cost/benefit analysis. But they can serve as a first step in determining whether it’s worth taking the next step.
