Understanding the Cost of 19TB Storage with Go4Hosting

When evaluating storage solutions for your business, cost is a critical factor. With increasing data demands, enterprises require scalable, high-performance, and cost-effective storage solutions. At Go4Hosting, we provide flexible 19TB storage plans tailored to meet diverse business needs while ensuring reliability, security, and affordability.

This knowledge base explores the cost factors, pricing models, and key considerations when opting for a 19TB storage solution with Go4Hosting.

1. Factors Influencing the Cost of 19TB Storage

The cost of 19TB storage depends on multiple factors, including:

A. Storage Type (HDD vs. SSD vs. NVMe)

• HDD (Hard Disk Drive):

• Economical for large-capacity storage.

• Ideal for backups, archives, and cold storage.

• Slower read/write speeds compared to SSDs.

• SSD (Solid State Drive):

• Faster performance, suitable for databases and high-traffic applications.

• More expensive than HDD but offers better efficiency.

• NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express):

• Ultra-fast storage for mission-critical workloads.

• Highest cost but best for low-latency applications.

B. Storage Architecture (Dedicated vs. Cloud vs. Hybrid)

• Dedicated Server Storage:

• Exclusive storage resources with high performance.

• Higher cost due to dedicated hardware.

• Cloud Storage:

• Scalable and pay-as-you-go pricing.

• Lower upfront cost but variable pricing based on usage.

• Hybrid Storage:

• Combines on-premises and cloud storage for cost optimization.

C. Data Redundancy & Backup Options

• RAID Configurations (RAID 1, 5, 6, 10):

• Impacts cost based on redundancy level.

• Automated Backups & Snapshots:

• Additional cost for backup retention policies.

D. Bandwidth & Data Transfer Costs

• Some plans include free inbound/outbound data transfers, while others charge per GB.

E. Support & SLA (Service Level Agreement)

• 24/7 Support, Uptime Guarantees (99.9% vs. 99.99%) may influence pricing.

2. Estimated Cost Breakdown for 19TB Storage

The pricing for 19TB storage varies based on the chosen configuration. Below is a general estimate:

(Note: Exact pricing depends on customization, additional features, and discounts.)

• Hybrid & multi-cloud storage options.

D. Cost-Effective Pricing Models

• Pay-as-you-go cloud storage.

• Reserved & long-term discounts for predictable workloads.

4. How to Optimize 19TB Storage Costs?

Managing a large 19TB storage infrastructure can be expensive if not optimized properly. Below is a detailed explanation of four key strategies to reduce costs while maintaining performance:

1. Use Tiered Storage (Hot & Cold Data Separation)

What it means:

• Hot Data: Frequently accessed files (e.g., active databases, real-time applications).

• Cold Data: Rarely accessed files (e.g., backups, archives, old logs).

How it optimizes costs:

• SSDs for Hot Data: Faster access but higher cost per GB.

• HDDs for Cold Data: Slower but much cheaper for bulk storage.

• Automated Tiering: Some systems automatically move inactive data to lower-cost storage.

Example:

• Store customer transaction databases on SSD/NVMe for speed.

• Move monthly backup files to HDD or cloud archive storage.

Result: Lower overall costs without sacrificing critical performance.

2. Implement Data Deduplication (Eliminate Redundant Copies)

What it means:

• Detects and removes duplicate copies of the same data.

• Only one unique copy is stored, with references pointing to it.

How it optimizes costs:

• Reduces actual storage consumption (e.g., 19TB may store 25TB+ of logical data).

• Saves backup storage costs (since backups often contain duplicates).

Example:

• If 100 employees store the same 100MB file, deduplication stores only one copy (saving 9.9GB).

• Useful for VM storage, email servers, and backup systems.

Result: More efficient storage utilization, reducing the need for extra capacity.

3. Leverage Compression (Reduce File Sizes)

What it means:

• Uses algorithms (ZIP, GZIP, LZ4, Zstandard) to shrink files.

• Can be lossless (no data loss) or lossy (for media files).

How it optimizes costs:

• Text, logs, databases can be compressed 2x�10x.

• Media files (JPEG, MP4) may already be compressed but can be further optimized.

Example:

• A 10GB database might compress to 4GB, saving 6GB per backup.

• Log files (which are highly compressible) can be reduced by 80%+.

Result: Less physical storage needed, lowering costs.

4. Monitor & Audit Storage Usage (Delete Unnecessary Files)

What it means:

• Regularly scan storage for:

• Old/unused files (temporary files, outdated backups).

• Duplicate data (even without deduplication).

• Unnecessary snapshots/logs eating up space.

How it optimizes costs:

• Prevents storage bloat (e.g., 19TB filling up with junk).

• Helps right-size storage needs (avoiding over-provisioning).

Example:

• Automated cleanup scripts can delete temp files older than 30 days.

• Unused VM snapshots can be pruned to free up space.

Result: Avoids paying for unused or wasted storage capacity.

5. Conclusion

The cost of 19TB storage depends on storage type, redundancy, performance needs, and support level. Go4Hosting offers competitive pricing, high availability, and enterprise-grade security for businesses requiring large-scale storage solutions.
