Quantitative data on distributed computing economics.
Some interesting quantitative data from Jim Gray's Distributed Computing Economics:
$1
= 1GB over WAN
= 10 Tops (1012 CPU instructions)
= 9 hours of CPU time
= 1 GB disk space
= 10 M database access
= 10 TB disk bandwidth
Computation/network break-even point is
= 10k instructions per byte of network traffic
= 1 minute CPU time per MB of network traffic
