This spreadsheet-based tool provides some basic market assumptions and other information to help evaluate a move to more structured, provisioned storage.

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.
