| Total
Cost of Ownership: What is the total cost of deploying
e-mail in house? |
Cost of deploying
e-mail infrastructure in house is simply not just the cost
for an e-mail server software. The cost must include all facets
of the acquisition cost; suitable server hardware cost, the
user license cost for each mailbox, the e-mail client seat
license cost, and the virus scanner license cost. The total
cost also includes maintainance cost for each infrastructure
component, and human resource cost factor. We can even write
it down as:
TCO
for e-mail infrastructure
= cost for E-mail server software +
cost for suitable hardware + cost for Operating System license
+ cost for each User license for both e-mail and Operating
system + cost for E-mail virus scan license + optional cost
for E-mail spam + maintenance cost for each components in
the system + cost for retrain staffs.
Each additional
user means more additional cost. Usually, the additional license
for both user and virus scan must be increased. If the existing
hardware can not handle the mail load, it has to be replaced
with more powerful (but also more expensive) server hardware.
To provide user
with web mail, administrator might need to add the extra cost
for web mail and web mail user license.
Now, let's take
a look at what is your cost of deploying NextMessage solution?
NextMessage appliance
comes in a ready to use solution. The package starts with
high performance hardware that has been optimized for messaging
solution. The scalable messaging-optimized operating system
offers the best platform for the task. NextMessage comes bundled
with enough user licenses for any type of organization (upto
3,000 users license sfor Series 5, and unlimited user license
for Series 7).
Well-equiped for
Internet security, all NextMessage come standard with built-in
virus scanner that has automatic virus signature update. Multi-level
spam filtering and spam black list mechanism are also standard
features.
The TCO for infrastructure
built based on NextMessage appliance would have a lot more
simple outcome as:
TCO
for NextMessage infrastructure
= Cost of NextMessage system with user/load
level of organization + Maintenance cost for NextMessage system
+ Cost for retrain staffs.
