Technical View

TCO modeling for MSP storage rollouts.

Size the cluster, step demand up in 50 TB jumps, change the bay and drive t-shirt size, and see when servers, racks, software commitment, dynamic pricing, and margin move.

TCO App

Interactive t-shirt sizing and growth model

TCO App

Pick a sales price, a server bay count, a drive size, a server cost, and the prepaid-versus-dynamic software pricing mix, then grow demand in steps. The app derives rawCapacityPerServerTB = bays * driveSizeTB, runs that through the JavaScript model in-browser, and shows how revenue, commitment, dynamic software, hardware, racks, servers, drives, and margin change across time.

Raw / Server 576 TB
TCO app ready. Only the TB and Growth controls change demand. Sales price changes revenue assumptions, while Rack, Server, and HDD change capacity-side sizing assumptions.
