AWS Storage Pricing Models

This page contains models to compare Cornell Shared File Service (SFS) with various AWS Storage options. Remember to consider more than just financial costs when picking a storage option. Consider access times when comparing SFS versus AWS storage; access to SFS from on-campus locations will almost always be faster than accessing AWS from on campus. SFS also presents storage as CIFS shares for direct mounting.
