Build a cost model that benchmarks current spend of [CurrentMonthlyCost] [Currency] against alternative [StorageClasses] using assumed [DedupRatio] and data growth of [GrowthRate]. Include egress of [EgressPerMonthTB] TB/month and test-read activity. Recommend lifecycle policies, compression, dedupe, and tiering schedules with quantified savings.
Output format:
Assumptions Table.
12-Month Forecast Table: Month | Capacity | Opex | Egress | Total.
Scenario Comparison (Current vs. Optimized vs. Aggressive) with % savings.
Recommendations (top 5) with ROI and payback period.
Ensure risk notes (e.g., cold retrieval latency, restore SLAs) accompany savings.
