S3 Cost Scenarios

Worst Case Assumptions

  • 10 Users, 1 Gb per user, shared space of 10 Gb
  • The 10 Gb of space will change over the year by 50% per month of actual uploads
  • Each of the 10 users will download the 15 Gb of uploads for 150 Gb of downloads
  • A large project like Vasco is 500 mb (actual size with tracks was about 326 mb)
  • Each user makes 1000 requests per day for 365,000 requests per year. (not likely but worst case)

Worst Case Numbers

Scenario amounts Gb Price per Description Monthly Cost Yearly Cost
10 .15 per Gb Storage per month $1.50 $18
5 Gb .10 per Gb Upload per month $.50 $72
7.5 Gb x 10 users .17 per Gb Download per month $75 $900
1000 per day x 10 users .01 per 1000 requests (list, get) per day $3 $36.50
Totals $80 $ 960

Obviously the Downloads are the big cost item and it's very unlikely the customer would turnover 7.5 per month for each user.
