Seems some things initiate nickel-and-diming... Outsourcing Exchange probably makes the most sense cost-wise for: the business with low amounts of in-house I.T. talent, the very small biz, or the very large biz. Also, besides cost comparison, I think it's a really great idea to do a bit of searching through the archives of this list. Also, check out the technet forums for the hosted exchange product. You won't even have to do searching there to get an idea of some of the things you'll run in to. There is stuff that matters beyond perf/uptime and raw cost numbers. Someday it will probably be better--very immature service offerings out there when it comes to the details. ~JasonG > -----Original Message----- > From: Jay Dale [mailto:jd...@unetek.com] > Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2011 16:52 > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Exchange 2010 in-house vs cloud > > I don't know exact cost amounts, but I can tell you we went through a > similar comparison and the costs were relatively the same for both, so it > basically depended on the client's feelings towards in-house vs. hosting > in general and weighing the pros and cons of both. > > > > > > Jay Dale > Senior Systems Administrator > > P:281-574-2414 > > > > From: Scott Schneider [mailto:sschnei...@inscapesolutions.com] > Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2011 1:35 PM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: Exchange 2010 in-house vs cloud > > > > Our current hardware goes end of life this year.
