Calculation example
A Company pays around $36,000 per year for 15 TB of extra SharePoint storage space. 15 TB of files are moved to Azure Blob storage with ShArc. In the meantime, SharePoint users load some data back into SharePoint.
The following costs are incurred:
- costs for ShArc, billed to Layer2: 15 TB * $780 = $11,700
- 15 TB Azure Blob Storage costs for a configuration to the “Hot" tier, billed to Microsoft: $3,318
- server in Azure: $670
- reloading data to SharePoint: free of charge
Total costs for 15 TB: $15,688 per year instead of $36,000
Frequently asked questions about ShArc pricing
Here we answer the most frequently asked questions from our customers about the costs of ShArc and other costs they will incur.
Do we have to pay when onloading files back to SharePoint?
Reloading files from Azure Blob to SharePoint is free with ShArc. If the Blob container is configured to “Cold” or “Archive”, minor costs may be incurred in your Azure environment. If the Blob container is configured to “Hot”, there are also no costs from Azure side.
Do you manage the Azure Blob container?
As ShArc is hosted entirely in your environment, Azure containers are also managed by you. We can provide you with resources to assist you.
Is there a discount for NGOs/educational organizations?
Yes, NGOs and educational institutions receive 15% discount per TB on the software price. Please note that we have no direct influence on the Azure costs and therefore cannot offer a discount there. Contact our sales team to get a discount: sales@layer2-sharc.com
What happens with my data if I don´t want to use ShArc anymore?
You can onload all files back to SharePoint with one click if you don´t want to use ShArc any longer. If you cancel your subscription and don´t onload your data, only IT can retrieve the offloaded files.
