Why are 180 days of on-line storage required to be priced, especially if only two weeks of online storage is required on the test system?
180 days of on-line storage is representative of production systems, and must, therefore be priced. However, configuring test systems with storage capacity in excess of that required to execute the benchmark, is normally difficult for test sponsors. To accommodate this problem, the 180 days storage capacity is priced but need not be configured.
