Plasmon's Archival Storage Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Analysis is one of the storage industries most complete reports on total system cost for long-term data storage. Updated frequently with new product and pricing information, the third edition of the report is now available. The archive technologies selected for comparison include magnetic tape (LTO3), magnetic disk (EMC, Centera) and Plasmon's own DVD and UDO libraries. In order to provide a realistic TCO assessment, the 18-page report is based on the actual requirements from the London branch of a global financial institution with a demand for 20TB of archival storage. The chart below summarizes the financial findings of the report by breaking down the most significant components of cost over a three-year operating period. The purpose of the study is to provide a balanced assessment of actual costs so that companies implementing archive strategies can use the results as a framework for their own appraisals.
