Please check my math as this seems rather expensive. Client needs to store massive numbers of images for their project. I estimate 400,000 images, all excessively high quality, large dimension. Minimum of 15, maybe 30 MegaPixels per image. I know MB and MP will not be 1:1, but just the same I need to make up some guesstimate. So:
400000 images * 30MB/image = 12,000,000 MB est. = 12,000 GB = 12 TB
Looking around, be it VPS or Dedicated, this will take more than several costly plans. One reasonably cost-effective source does 1.5TB for under $600.
Am I missing anthing yet?
Amazon storage, cloud storage, etc. - I have not had to go there yet. Suggestions?
