My organization is buying a couple of Suns (SLC's) and a 669 MB drive with
a 150MB tape. We are also purchasing the distribution SunOs w/ Open
Windows. I am wondering if the $170/mo hardware maintenance and $220/mo
software maintenance fees are really worth it. This seems like a awful
lot of money, especially for the software. I know we get free updates w/
the maintenance contract, but I don't think this is worth $2640 a year to
receive OS updates! I've also heard that Suns are very reliable - if this
is true, maybe I don't need to spend $170/mo on hardware, and take the
risk.
E-mail responses are preferred. If there is enough interest, I will post
a summary. Thanks in advance,
Greg.
