Re: Google Apps Premier and OpenOffice

I have 2 quotes from the same guy, 1 with IBM x3650 servers and 1 with Dell
Poweredge servers. The Dell is cheaper. Both quotes are higher (a lot)
than you estimate because it includes more things than just this in the
project. It has what you have there plus virtualization, a 2nd server as
backup, a SAN for storage, all the software licensing, and all the labor.

I'm not finding too many online reviews or posts that like Google Apps.
Other than a guy who wrote a book about it. :)

What kind of infrastructure do you have right now with regards to Windows?
What kind of licenses do you currently have and what kind of client
operating systems do you currently run?
What suite of Microsoft Office are you currently using?

My Guesstimation:

IBM System x3650 M2 with an external LTO4 drive (TS2240)
SBS 2008 Standard + 20 User Licenses
Symantec BackupExec Small Business Edition
+ Static IP Address on your WAN connection (~10-20US$ / month)
+ Yearly cost for appropriate SAN certificate (~200US$ / year)

Put this as 15kUS$ to 25kUS$, without labor. Does not include licenses
for Outlook client.
