cost of windows server 2003 and sql server 2003

(1/3) > >>

Commander:
i looked everywhere but couldnt find a deceent assurance on the price of running the two servers for a year.  I was told by someone where i worked a couple summers ago that sql server took about 6000 $ to run/ year.  But i'm  not confident on that #.
It would really be helpful to have these figures for a speech i'm working on.  Any amount that ballparks the correct amounts you be really helpful.
thanks.

H_TeXMeX_H:
One might ask why you are asking this question on a Micro$uck forum, but I don't want to think about it.

Fine here's your answer: The TCO three year total cost of ownership per 100 users for Window$ 2003 server is .... $98,221 ... recalculating for 1 yr this means $32740.33 per year per 100 users ... more recalculating $327.40 per user per year (surely an underestimate ?) ... does that make any sense to anyone ? It makes no sense to me.

Bullshit paper from dell including all the statistics and meaningless shit like that:

If that doesn't cut it, just google it, or use $6000, it's a large number, and probably accurate.

i'm trying to confince people to use opensource :D


it's 6000 for sql i think... but what about server 2003 itself?

toadlife:
Make sure an factor in the salaries of the extra two staff members you'll need to make those open source apps do what the Microsoft apps do out of the box.

;)

Yeah, That's the best way to convince people...just make shit up to support your argument. That allways works.


BTW Commander, There is no such thing as "SQL Server 2003".
