Information about file share capacity and monthly billing rates.
This article applies to: Shared File Services
| Capacity | Non-Replicated | Replicated |
|---|---|---|
| 150 GB | $4.50 | $9 |
| 500 GB | $15 | $30 |
| 1000 GB | $30 | $60 |

- An offsite Disaster Recovery copy of data stored on SFS is included in these rates.
- If a snapshot option is selected, share capacity is utilized for snapshots (reducing usable storage, typically by ~20%).
- Snapshots are the only way an end user can restore a file from a “backup.”
- If replication is selected your data will be asynchronously replicated on a 4-hour schedule to 2 different buildings on the Ithaca campus. Replication requires snapshots, which means usable storage is reduced, typically by ~20%.
For storing confidential/high-risk data, including HIPAA data, SFS provisions an additional share used as place to transfer audit reports securely. This second share is:
- Grown automatically in 150-GB units as required.
- Billed at $11.25 per 150 GB 2.5x the listed rates.
- Billed to the same Kuali account as your data share.
