Hello!
As we are expanding we are looking for storage solutions to store long term logs.
Requirements:
CPU: Keychain CPU is fine
RAM: 32GB Ram DDR4 ECC Minimum
Storage: 400TB HDD (Total Space) + 2x 2TB NVME (Total Storage)
10GbE Minimum
-> 1PB bandwidth/month
Region Preference: Germany, Atlanta and or Ashburn
1x IPv4
0x IPv6
Good to haves:
- GTT NTT COX Peering
Budget: $650USD/month, ACH Transfer
Please provide looking glass with file download for us to test connectivity.
(Please also provide price for 1YR Upfront)
Thank you.

400TB? damn. This is going to be tough.
@layer7 for Germany
@qps for Ashburn
400TB dont sound too bad but 1PB seems crazy
I don't know how many providers has 400TB of drives laying around because the prices of drives right now is crazy. 1PB of data is not too bad because that is equivalent of 3G port at 100% utilization for 30 days.
Anyways, this is the closest to 400TB that seems to be available.

Why you don't get cartridges like this and self host it?

You will need less than 10 if it's for logs and compressed. 75TB for 250$.

That's an insane amount of porn. Best of luck with your fan site.
Hi,
thank you for the mentioning!
Wont happen for this budget.
Wont happen for even 2x of this budget.
If ovh have something like this for 1.6k USD then this should be grabbed instantly before ovh realize what buying this HDD space currently cost.
I just paid 18k EUR for 36x 22 TB Seagate disks... So this 24x 22 disks alone have a countervalue of >10k.
1 PB traffic ( thats > 3 Gbit/s ) are alone worth easily 250-300 EUR / month.
So this 650 USD / month barely pay running cost. The hardware itself is maybe 16k to buy currently. So the question is, you as provider, how many months/years/decades you want to wait until making the first real EUR ;-)
So again... 1.6k USD => good price! Take it while its there.
If we were supposed to deliver this i wont even start calculating before there is a 2k EUR budget.
Thank you,
We will go with this configuration.
You mean hosts are supposed to make money? News to me.
Haha,
We are using this for longterm logs,
logging and ANALyzing DDoS attacks.
@NetDynamics24
Could you per chance send us a DM with a quote for 1YR upfront?
In what world do you really require 400TB of logs? After you ingest and learn from them, maybe you need 1 year worth of retention, but you aren't doing 400TB within a year and if you are, you're doing logging all wrong.
Yeah we can do that, you will have to get approved for a mortgage though. We do not accept preapprovals.
We would also need payment for extra health insurance for the remote hands installing the servers.
yeah the prices for drives is insane. Even with lower capacity drives, you are going to need a lot of them.
Your budget is going to be a problem, but we're sitting on ~250T of storage. If you can take 250T of usable we could make the budget work. If you can ~2.5x your budget we could do 400T with a setup fee.
We intend to run raid 1 + 0, so therefore we only have 200TB> useable, which gives us roughly 500GB+-/24 hour of logs.
Sadly we have been getting a junk load of DDoS attacks, both layer 4 and layer 7.
We intend to release our platform Sentry Intel, which gives us the ability to have very in depth telemetry data for us.
23-25 per TB ( HDD only ), so, you can do $2 per TB per month?
Hi,
yeah well in a world where we do not use any checksum'ing filesystem or data redundancy, this plain math might work.
But there we do not want to go... thats a very dark road for a storage cluster with hundreds of disks and multiple storage nodes...
But yes, in general we currently build up something that has a target selling price for each TB of 2-3 EUR / month. Lets see what the math will say after its all setup.
I'm happy to offer you the below plan in our Kansas City, MO location.
AMD EPYC 7452 (32 cores, 64 threads)
64GB DDR4 ECC Memory
16 x 28TB HDD + 2 x 2TB NVMe
3 Gbps 95% (10 Gbps port)
Located in Kansas City, MO
$7500/year
Overage billed at $100/Gbps
Please note that there is a 3-4 week setup time. We can change it to $625 billed monthly after the first year is paid.

that's great, and i think maybe you can sell extra HDD BW and IOPS to customers who are willing to pay for it
That advin offer looking real nice.
This is a very solid offer, please shoot us a dm.
Thread closed, we have found a match.
Yeah, you should get it
