The Cost Of Microsoft Sharepoint
By now, you have figured out that your organization will benefit much from Sharepoint. The next think that you want to know is probably the price?
I will now answer you this question with a bit of detail, since it’s not a very simple answer.
In order to get started, you first need to know that you need a license for the Windows servers, which also costs. An authorized partner is the best place to get the price from. For instance, you can try GSR, which is a gold-certified Microsoft partner.
The server node is what the cost is structured by. In the environment, every server has to be licensed by a Windows server. The Windows server can be 2003 or some other latter edition. Next you need the licensing of database software. For this, you use SQL, which is best for installations of large or middle size.
Sharepoint, and its licensing:
Windows Sharepoint Services are to be installed as a part of the OS. You can get the license as a part of either the Standard or Enterprise configuration. It really depends on what size is your organization. That’s by what you choose.
Hardware costs:
The use of the multi-processor 64 bit servers with 2 GB of RAM is what Microsoft advises customers to use. An estimation is that you will most likely allocate something like 400 users to 1 machine. To support 4000 users, you definitely need a server farm of 3 servers, since more scalability will be required. A cluster high availability and redundancy is very important, so create one. But, in order to create that, you will require more servers.
Consulting Service:
A well established partner who can help you in setting up Sharepoint in your current environment very important. Even Microsoft recommends it. To help you with an evaluation of the training and software, me and my GSR tram will visit you after we have helped you with the implementation. That way, you can save much time and shorten your learning curve. We will compensate your lack of experience with the product.
