I have a challenge for y’all.

Design me a 10PB Object Storage solution under ~$600k to build.

Go! 🚀

After some revision to some preliminary design and costing I’ve managed to come up with a 7.2PB Object Storage Build and Design (Full Rack) at a Cost (TCO) of $340,400

Anyone take me up on this yet? Can you do better? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net nah, we pay people to do that for us. LOL. In all honesty, I wouldn’t know where to start, as I haven’t deal with hardware for over 15 years. Once you have locked in the hardware, what are you using, software wise? Or are you speccing hardware that comes with its own software solution?

@homer@twtxt.net My design uses good ‘ol ZFS on Linux + MinIO
