Part of you analysis might include consideration of what is done with 
this data, and what media it currently lives in. To what extent is it 
redundant or unnecessary? With that much data, what have you been doing 
for backups? How has the useful life of the information impacted your 
primary storage and backup decisions? If it is government or educational 
data, they just might have the data pipes you would need.
