The list price seems to be ~40M. https://www.dell.com/en-hk/shop/servers-storage-and-networki... Select the 40 slot chassis and put 40 of those 245TB disks in. Comes out at ~HK$317M. Of course HK prices might also be higher than what Dell USA offers.

Now how heavy the discounts you can get I don't know.

My understanding is no one actually pays Dell sticker price. They list that price on the website but if you talk to whatever they are calling their sales reps you get the real price.

I know, I'm just not sure how high discount you are going to get in this kind of system. My understanding is that the discounts normally tend to be something like 30-40% so it would still be within same magnitude (10M+).

That can't be right. You could buy an aisle of NVL72 or _one_ 2U server?
