Holding the line on disk storage rates while moving ALW closer to full cost recovery is possible because, this past year, DCRT replaced the ALW file servers and disk drives with newer, faster technology that is more reliable and is much less expensive to purchase and maintain.
Category New Rate Old Rate ALW Subscription 200.00 100.00 (per month) Disk Storage 0.01 0.01 (per MByte/day) ALW Installation 500.00 500.00 (per occurence) Private AFS Server Mgmt 600.00 300.00 (per month) Private AFS Server Disk Mgmt 1.00 1.00 (per GByte/day)
Note that DCRT plans to eliminate the ALW subsidy entirely beginning October 1, 1995.
