[Marble-devel] server space for marble data

[Nicolás Alvarez]

For reference, I just checked Amazon S3. Storing 2TB on "reduced
redundancy storage", with an outbound traffic of 744073 requests/day,
6.4GB/day, would cost us 207 USD/month (2484 USD/year).

It's quite a difference if it is one 2TB file or a 1 million files of 2KB. Also the amount of concurrent users should be factored in. From Hetzner we get a 10TB limit a month. So if this is a single 2TB file, we can not serve that much people...
