ReadyNAS Vault : great but overpriced!
Hi! Just saw the ReadyNAS Vault announcement : great news! Something I definitely need to really secure my data as my PC backups are, indeed, copied on my ReadyNAS Duo but still in the same locatio...
In yet another example of how far out of whack the ReadyNAS Vault pricing is, Google announced User Managed Storage yesterday. Want 1TB of storage in the cloud? Google charges $256 per year. ReadyNAS Vault? ...a comical $3049.
Yes, I understand the comparison is a bit of apples and oranges since the Google storage is no way integrated with the ReadyNAS. The point here is that ReadyNAS Vault integration is not a feature customers are willing to pay a >10x price premium for.
Cloud storage is a commodity and as such has commodity pricing (for everyone other than the ReadyNAS team). Charging your customers a premium for a commodity is a losing proposition.
