If the cost of storage in the 712 is a little under 3 cents per meg...then that is roughly 30 bucks a gig, isn't it? ......then roughly 30,000 a terabyte ....then I guess a little under 12 million for 400 terabytes at full capacity.....but John I think that is only if they want it all online at the same time, (which takes a whole bunch of machines) I am definitely not sure though. If the contract was that large, I believe they would have announced the figure ( hope so anyway). Lockheed Martin paid much more than 3 cents a meg...so there must have been more involved. Maybe DCRs and DISs and a ton of tapes ( to make backroom - not virtually online - archiving capability much greater than 100TB). One of the edges of AXC's mammoth tape capacity, of course, is storage space saving. Anyway, we do not know the size of the sale..wish they had released that info...nor do we know the time frame involved...but good news....and some joker seems poised to sell into every bit of good news right now.
