Relative to the costs:
My business is not about selling equipment, parts or software, is about service.
The service consists of monthly or quarterly periodic visits and visits as needed due to failures detected in service selected computers (Service optionally includes the replacement parts installation and configuration at no extra cost).
There will be an initial process to investigate the needs and define the requirements for the selected equipment for service which will be used to establish the limits of service and the drive(s) capacity needed as well as the backup software selection to be used.
I will support you on recommendations and evaluations for new equipment or parts needed by the office.
The cost of equipment and replacement parts are transferred directly to the client with no markup*.The cost of the software is transferred directly to the client with no markup*.
Software and Hardware recommended are not destined to manage some Servers, for it, other hardware and/or software may be recommended. Size and type of hardware depends on the needs identified thus the cost may be increased.
According to the quantity of machines, the software licenses may be reduced in cost by volume.
For outside limits of service and/or not contracted service selected computers additional visits lead to additional costs. Some configurations may require additional costs (ex. Special Servers, Offsite Backup, Encryption).
