Microsoft enterprise licensing question

2008-05-07 Thread matt
Greetings to all...
I work at an educational institution that is on Novell and is examining the 
licensing costs and options and comparing these costs with making the switch to 
Microsoft.  I'd prefer not to go to the lengths of contacting our reseller at 
this time, or opening up a can of worms that we are indeed planning to make 
the move.  I'm curious however about the ballpark price for a Microsoft Campus 
Agreement...we have about 6000 combined faculty and students, so I assume that 
would be the number to work with.  I'm also curious about what all a Campus 
Agreement includes.

I thought maybe some of you out there had dealt with this before and could give 
me some feedback.

Thanks,
MM

I am doing that exactly right now.  For dollars only, I compared quotes for 
Novell products to Microsoft quotes from our standard vendor(s).  You may wish 
to include costs for speciality servers (Zen/SCCM), as well as hours for 
migration and migration tools.   I don't know if Microsoft has the Novell 
equivalent of a VLA or MLA, but you could purchase your licenses with software 
assurance.
