That's all because "it depends". There are consultancies growing up around this just like consultancies around deploying Exchange in-house.
The questions are not necessarily easy to answer. Regards, Michael B.

We are looking at either upgrading our current 2003 Exchange to 2010 and replacing the hardware it runs on, or outsourcing the Exchange portion to a cloud service. We have about 10 Wintel servers and would incorporate Hyper V as part of the upgrade, as I have other servers which also need to be replaced this year. What I have been trying to find is a general cost per user of hosted versus in-house Exchange, and the average bandwidth per user required for outsourced. Anybody know a decent site where I might find that info?
