Question

Recall that the company in the previous question predicts they can scale up to 1 billion users doing 10 drawings a day. In this scenario, assuming each drawing is 1 Mb and Azure offers 1Gb of storage for $1 per month, how much will it cost the company to store all these drawings per month? Optional (go for glory, extra brownie points, imaginary gold stars, etc. these two questions will not be graded, but you can always impress me and I may do some grade rounding if you do!): a) How much would it cost per year? b) How could you lower their costs?

Answer 1

Answer) 300 million dollars.

Explaination:

1 billion with 10 images per day.
= 10000000000 images per day
= 300000000000 images per day

if per image is 1 mb, then total storage needed for 1 month is:
300000000000 Mb

= about 300000000 Gb

if $1 is requred per Gb, then total cost will be:

$300000000
= 300 million dollars.


a) 3.6 billion dollar

Per year cost will be : 300 x 12 = 3.6 billion dollar


b) Assuming the scenario the cost can be reduced by compressing the drawing files so that more drawings can be stored in less space.
