Where are you getting 850TB of enterprise storage for $20k?
I had 500TB of object storage priced last year and it came out closer to $300k

That's including the enterprise premium for software, hardware support, and licenses. Building this in-house using open source software (e.g. Ceph) on OEM hardware will be cheaper by an order of magnitude.
You of course need people to maintain it -- the $300k turnkey solution might be the better option depending on current staff.
136tb for $3k (used gen 2 epyc hardware and refurb <1 hour 16tb hdd's) they're zero risk after firmware validation and 1 full drive read and write.
Priced out by whom? What kind of object storage? Were you looking at the price of drives, or the price of a complete solution delivered by some company?
