Good Morning,
I have a large managed services provider in Australia who are looking at
the benefits of deploying Scale for a combination of Object storage and
basic SMB file access. This data is typically historical data rather
than highly accessed production data and the proposed services is
designed to be a low cost option - think a private version of Amazon's
Glacier type offering. The proposed solution will have Platinum -
Flash, Gold - SAS, Silver - NL-SAS and Bronze - Tape tiers with
different cost's per Tier
...
Is anyone doing something similar today? and if so at what granularity?
We put different customers into their own filesets, and we put hard
quotas on the filesets and we charge by the allocated quota and not by
the current "usage". I.e. their quota is their "usage".
IIRC billing is monthy and quota adjustments are manual and infrequent,
and I'm guessing the adjustments are pro-rated.
