  • 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.
