One Area of Hope: Server Pricing
Not much change in license costs
- E-commerce web server $1M average (Gartner)
- SW 10-15%
- HW about same as SW
- People the other 70-80%
- How many % points will go to open source?
But cost of downtime is a real killer
- Lost revenues
- # Hrs. offline x Total revenues / 8760
- Recovery costs
