1 [mb hour] * 24 [hours] * 365 [days] * 10^9 [mb] / 1000 [points] * 0.01 [$] = 87.6 million

So unless you have some quantity discounts, that would seem to be the price for storing 1 PB , without any querying.

Yeah it's our mistake. It's actually gigabyte-hour.

So in the OP's example, the cost is $87,000 per petabyte-year of storage?

EDIT: I see mentioned in another post this a per-replica cost. So it would be roughly $87,000 times the number of replicas, ignoring the initial queries that inserted the data in the first place?

I think so but we are going to run the cost regressions again and make sure it's in line with market.
