Veering slightly off-topic, I remember when I asked them to quote me out a license when I was at Answers.com ... for "a couple hundred" servers and their system and web traffic and error logs. They - literally - quoted me a number that was eight digits long, before the decimal point.
Their licenses are based on the amount of log you index per day. If you didn't provide them with an estimate of how much log you'd consume per day, then somebody probably did a very pessimistic (for you) estimation.
Note that the price per GiB decreases as you move up in the license. So maybe you talked to a newbie who took the license for 10 GiB and multiply by some factor...
After I asked them what biological acts were included and with exactly how many professionals, we gave up and built something internally.
