Hey guys,
I am helping a good fellow at a local company out who needs a new server installed. The software company for their POS app recommended SBS08 Premium and a basic $3.5k E2200 server.... The company is the right size for SBS08 and I am waiting to see if they do need the "premium" part of SBS. They currently have 3 POS stations and want to add 2 more. Total of maybe 10 users? Want Remote Access/VPN functionality.
Anyways, here is what I spec'd.
Dell T310
Xeon 5340 2.4ghz
8gb ram
4x250GB Raid 10
RD1000 + 2 320gb cartridges
3yr warranty
Redundant Powersupplies
SBS2008 Premium with 10 CALS
Came in right at $5k.
Here is what got me- they wanted a estimate for the server install.
I could only give them a rough idea. A similar setup took 22 hours. Is there a formula or estimate others use to calculate this?
Nice full rate job with future support.
One of their locations is over 2 hours away, so I did ask for 1/2 rate travel time.
Sound good?
Thanks!
