The costs of the local Exchange server
With an organized local server costs could vary greatly depending on whether you are buying budget or high quality equipment and services. Therefore, I have included a series, the reason that you can go cheap or hardware using second hand, used a low-skilled IT Technical however, these economies are false and that usually end up costing more time and trouble in setting the shortcuts that were taken in the future.
Settings
A server $ 4,000 – $ 10,000
Backup hardware / software $ 2000 – $ 6,000
UPS $ 500 – $ 1000 (the server stops being blown up with a peak energy or no energy)
Microsoft Exchange Software and Licensing $ 6,100
Guaranteed $ 500 – $ 1,000
Technician to set $ 2,000 – $ 6,000

Fixed IP address $ 240/year
Power $ 300 – $ 400 per year
Spam Protection $ 600 – $ 2000/year
Domain $ 200/year
So total cost of 1 year for a local installation of Exchange Server may be between $ 22,000 – $ 45,000 note that does not include technical time to perform the updates, technical time to perform backups and restores when you or your staff can not do it, not repair hardware, software updates or the fact that the server hardware usually last between 3-5 years that would have to go through the process of a new server and expenditure of grant new licenses.
When comparing costs for a period of 3 years is really no choice. To have a local server can vary widely from $ 35,000 – $ 75,000 for which the cost of having a hosted solution exchange in the same period shall be set at approximately $ 23,812
