>15GB Extra Storage Discount

Individual systems having more than 15GB (gigabytes) stored on the EZ-Backup server are charged at a reduced rate for that amount of storage in excess of 15GB. A collection of systems within a department may also qualify for this discount.

Discount for Individual systems:

A single system having more than 15 GB (gigabytes) of data stored on the EZ-Backup server will be charged at a reduced rate for that amount of storage which is in excess of 15 GB. The discount is $0.20/GB, resulting in a rate of $0.40/GB for storage in excess of 15GB (see the Rate Schedule).

Department discount:

Departments having multiple systems, which meet the qualifications described below, will have the Extra storage (above 6.0 GB) for each system aggregated within the department. This will result in a reduced rate if the aggregate amount of Extra storage for all qualifying systems in the department exceeds 15GB. The discount is the same as described above for single systems.

Qualifications for aggregating usage within a department:

  1. All qualifying systems must be charged to the same department.
    The department is determined from the first 3 characters of the university account number.
  2. All qualifying systems must have the same Technical Contact support person (or persons).

    1. Review the department's backup requirements,
    2. Define a unique "Policy Domain" and a set of "Management Classes" for the department to use that will meet the department's backup requirements.
    3. Receive training on installation, use, and support of the EZ-Backup software. Refresher training may be offered when a new version of the software becomes available.
