Appendix 3 - Novell Software Infrastructure Costs - Phase 1 to 5
2000 - 2001: Limited implementation in ITS managed areas:
Total cost: $71,040 for first 12 months At last count the total number of NT desktops managed
by ITS directly was approximately 300 machines. Given the rapid rate of
takeup of the lease scheme this could be expected to grow by 50-100% over
the next 12 months, so we will estimate on the basis of 500 licences,
licensed on a per workstation basis. The annual cost is $52.08 per workstation,
which could easily be built into the lease scheme costs for future agreements.
The initial cost would be $26,040 for the licences (this is the annual
fee), plus $45,000 for a Novell ENA (Enterprise Network Architect) which
would be a one off cost in setting up a structure suitable for future
expansion. Hardware costs are shown in appendix 1. 2001 - 2002: Wider implementation in cooperation with non-ITS areas
Total cost: $52,080 per annum Stage 1 (above) would be already implemented, but the
additional areas would probably add a further 500 workstations, taking
the total to 1000 workstation licences (estimated). Software and setup
cost for implementing this option would be $52,080 (annually) plus hardware
costs (already covered). 2002 - 2003: University-wide implementation of NDS
Total cost: $107,600 per annum. Across the entire university it would be more economical to license NDS on a per FTE basis rather than per workstation. Based on a FTE of 10,000 (the figure we use with Oracle site licensing) annual licensing would cost $107,600.
