<div>No-one local that I know of, no.</div>
<div>I can’t even think of anyone who’d be able to do that for you… the leasing costs would almost be as much as the purchase cost!</div>

</div>
<div>The problem is that even dedicated storage vendors don’t have gear like that sitting ready to go even for resale, never mind leasing… the NPV (or depreciation, if you prefer) curve on storage is far too extreme to take that chance.</div>

<br>
Do you know if it is possible to short-term lease storage on-site, in<br>
Winnipeg? Like having someone to bring in an appliance (about 100TB<br>
capacity) with a decent connection (10GigE at least) to attach directly to<br>
a system, for a short time.<br>
