The Competition’s Price
Standby Server beats the competition hands down in cost. Competitive
software sells for about six thousand dollars per package. Then
you would need Microsoft 2000 Server and a computer with enough
horsepower to run 2000 Server. You would be looking at an approximate
cost as follows:
$ 6,000.00 The Competition’s Standby Server Software.
$ 1,050.00 OS for their standby server: MS 2000 Server --25

$ 1,500.00 PC capable of running 2000 Server
$ 600.00 Labor – setup server, install

$ 8,150.00 TOTAL COST
