Colleagues:
UITS is announcing significant rate reductions in services for the Intelligent Infrastructure. This is the result of good work between UITS and Purchasing to negotiate new contracts with the three key suppliers. The old and new rates are listed below and the KB document [1] provides rate examples.
Current rates:
Allocated CPU: $81/vCPU/year
Allocated RAM: $24/GB/year
Allocated fiber channel attached disk storage: $0.67/GB/year
Consumed DPS space: $0.33/GB/year
New rates:
Allocated CPU: $45/vCPU/year
Allocated RAM: $15/GB/year
Allocated fiber channel attached disk storage: $0.53/GB/year
Consumed DPS space: $0.21/GB/year
There will be a university-wide news article in IU Today on Friday that will announce the savings. We know those of you using II services will appreciate the cost reductions. UITS will be using its savings to offset cost increases in other areas.
