I’ve done some modeling and for our high cpu, high egress, medium storage multi-million $ a year deploy it was 70-90% lower cost than cloud when you factor in amortized cost of boxes, remote hands, transit etc. Pretty substantial but not 10000x ;)
3 year plan. Basically for colos you also get it cheaper if you sign for 3y so that’s more apples to apples. Equipment “annual” cost was calculated over 5-7 year lifetime - I didnt go as far as calculating how much you could recover if you pawned it after 3 years…
