Storage TCO calculator

Sample Scenarios
Large Array
The result is an array of high-performance HDDs replaced by only a few PCI-e SSDs.
 Compression
The result shows a scenario where cost savings come from compressing the data that goes into the SSDs.
 De-Duplication
The result creates a scenario where de-duplication is the source of the cost savings on a TCO-basis.
