Dell PowerEdge R730xd Performance and Sizing Guide for Red Hat Ceph Storage - A Dell Red Hat Technical White Paper 32
4.3 Comparing Overall Solution Price/Capacity
For capacity-archive workloads, erasure-coded configurations are significantly less expensive per GB data
archived. Write-heavy capacity-archives should use the R730xd 16+1, EC configuration, because adding
an SSD write-journal increases total $/GB by only a small value and increases write performance.
Total solution price/GB data protected
Note: The Total Cluster Server plus software cost is equal to ASP of servers required to provide 1 PB of
usable capacity, and the ASP of Red Hat Ceph Storage subscription ASP for the raw terabyte required.
