QuestionQ26

VerifiedCompute and Storage

Company XYZ currently pays $300,000.00 USD per month in egress fees for 7 Petabytes (1 Petabyte = 1000 Terabytes) of Outbound Data Transfer consumed in North America with its current cloud provider.

The company wants to reduce this expense substantially without reducing consumption. You propose migrating to OCI because Gigabyte Outbound Data Transfer in North America costs only $0.0085 USD per month.

How much will the company spend per month with OCI for 7 Petabytes of Outbound Data Transfer? (1 Terabyte = 1000 Gigabytes)

Explanation

OCI includes the first 10 TB of monthly outbound data transfer at no charge for traffic originating in North America, with additional usage charged at USD 0.0085 per GB. Seven PB is 7,000,000 GB; subtracting the 10,000 GB free allowance leaves 6,990,000 billable GB. The resulting charge is 6,990,000 × 0.0085 = USD 59,415 per month.
