Their calculator doesn t apply in the IT world I have worked in for more than 30 years. If their goal was to compare "Perfect" scenarios with "Perfect" business models with "Perfect" cost analysis, then I'll give them credit. I think their calculator is highly flawed for use in the real world of existing customer who already have some sort of backup in place. BUT the fact of the matter is, most companies will not.įor example, if a company is going to ask an EXISTING employee to manage those backups, they are not going to calculate the cost of labor for the backup in their decision, they are going to add that task to the existing workload of that employee and not change the compensation. I know people will say you have to include those costs, or you are not seeing the real price yes I know that.


Or at least would never be included in many business decisions. They make some assumptions that just don't apply to many businesses.
