- The cost for leased PASS just dropped at the start of this fiscal year. Effective July 1, 2009, the cost dropped from $0.02 / MB / year to $0.08 / GB / month.
- Note, there is now a required minimum of 15 GB for new departmental space and all space increase requests.
This is all such killer stuff! I know the Clubs people are going to be very happy. Looks like we'll do a "manual pilot" with no more than 10 clubs this fall to gather feedback. I imagine we should circle the wagons and start talking about what changes we need to get to with the club server admin tools.
Great stuff, Jeff!
Sure Cole. I have a club of my own I'd love to include in the pilot, and a couple other suggestibles.
