Dear Customer XyzOnPremise,
We’re happy to offer this quote to you to analyze, build, train and deploy a three node SQL Server Availability Group for you. You presently have one copy of SQL Server enterprise without software assurance. You’ll need to obtain Software Assurance and purchase a second license for the third node. This quote is for services only based on our conversations. Thanks! Phase 1 – Analyze Current setup, performance, capabilities, network, help prepare environment and create detailed plan.
30-40 Hours on-site/remote. Will lapse over 2 weeks. Can start two weeks out.
Phase 2 – Build, Test and Document the Availability Group. Provide Training.
60-80 Hours on-site/remote. Will lapse over 2 weeks. Hours vary based on network and AD complexity, as well as some of the firewall concerns at client.
