Email / File Share / Collaborate
• Option 1: Exchange & Sharepoint
– Need T1 internet: $300 per month minimum
– Need your own server: hardware + labor $3000 every 5 years
– Need large backup hard drives: minimum 2 @ $150 each
– Need separate antivirus protection: $85 dollars @ TechSoup.org
– Maintenance and updates required– Server goes down = email goes
down– Internet connection goes down =
email goes down
• Option 2: Hosted Exchange & Sharepoint
– Basic DSL connection – No server needed– Backed up by Hosted Exchange
provider– Antivirus protection included– Maintenance and updates included– $9 to $12 per month, per user– Makes sense for 25 or fewer staff– Recommended providers:
– Intermedia.net– Sherweb.com
