Often the more protection provided, the more space must be devoted to such redundancy.For example, the 10:16 uses the additional 6 instances of data for redundancy purposes. However if each of these were to be considered a drive then this configuration could sustain 6 simultaneous drive failures and still be able to access the data. SImilarly, RAID 1 takes up 2 instances for every instance of data.Redundancy overhead is the price we pay for increased data availability. Anything that protects data takes up additional space.

As with any other EMC proprietary software, there is a lot of song and dance when you ask them how much usable space I will have after my Object or file is stored. It is a wonder that they can sell it in the first place with those types of answers. How do I calculate my Raw or Available space with GeoProtect?
