Thanks to all the media coverage that Amazon’s Simple Storage Solution (S3) has received, there is a widely-held belief that the total cost of cloud storage is roughly “15 cents a GB/month.”

This is a false assumption. What the 15 cents does not include is:

  • Price for inbound bandwidth
  • Price for outbound bandwidth
  • Price for puts/gets

Paul Gottsegen, a V-P of marketing for HP’s enterprise server and systems group, told me that companies building out large-scale computing systems to deliver software as a service, and even computing clouds, are far more interested in better storage features than tweaks for servers. And they’re willing to pay extra for them. That focus on storage is one of the reasons that HP said on Wednesday that it had agreed to spend $360 million to buy LeftHand Networks, whose software can be used to create virtualized storage clouds on an Ethernet network.

funny, business week just has a piece where hp’s own cto could not explain to the journalist reporting what “cloud” actually means! very comical, but darkly comical, right?
