61%
In this example, simplyblock offers about 61% savings over the standard Amazon EBS volume. The example assumes a 1-year reservation of all storage cluster nodes. With a 3-years reservation agreement, the savings can be increased even further.
​
The calculation is based on our recommended setup for management nodes (m6i.xlarge, 2 instances for failover) and storage nodes (i3en.large, scaled according to the disk space requirement).
