A YouTube talk by Mike Austin about cloud storage inefficiencies and over-provisioning. The speaker gives a concrete example where an organization uses 200 GB but provisioned 1 TB (25% utilization) and states that, based on analysis of many storage bills, 50–80% of spending to hyperscalers is wasted.

Questions this video answers

Using 200 GB but provisioned 1 TB (25% utilization).

50–80% of dollars spent on hyperscalers is wasted.

And the reality is that most organizations, like I said, are over provisioning storage. So they're using 200 gigabytes in this example, but, you know, they've. I don't know where the 1 TB went, but they provisioned 1 TB and they're at 25% utilization. Right. And so what we're seeing as we've analyzed numerous storage bills is that 50 to 80% of the dollars that you're giving these hyperscalers is wasted.
