On-site Exchange infrastructure less than cloud?? How is it possible?

48,300 mailboxes – 1 POD

289,800 mailboxes – 6 PODs

Total Cost $1,733,505.28

Mailboxes 48,300

$ per mailbox $35.89

$ per year (5yr) $7.18

$ mailbox/month $0.60

Total Cost $10,401,031.68

Mailboxes 289,800

$ per mailbox $35.89

$ per year (5yr) $7.18

$ mailbox/month $0.60

Total Infrastructure Costs Include All: • Servers (R720XD) • Storage & Disk (MD1200)

If 3yr depreciation - cost per mailbox per month =$.99

• Dell Switches (S4810) • Racks & Cables
