23. Preliminary Sizing Calculations
2 web servers + 2 spares = 4 web servers
100,000 users x 10% concurrent users = 10,000 users
10,000 users x 1 database server/500 users = 20 database servers
20 database servers x 1 raid storage/db server = 20 raid storage
2 processors/server x 20 servers = 40 processors
2 NICS / server x 24 servers = 48 network connections.
48 network connections x 24 / switch = 2 switches + 2 spares = 4 switches
Tuesday, May 14, 2019

24. Preliminary Sizing Calculations
Software:
Oracle 9iAS: 40 processors x $10,000/processor = $400,000
RedHat Enterprise Linux AS = $2,499
SSL Certificate $200 x 2 = $400
Software Total = $402,899
Hardware:
T3 Line $15,000 month x 12 months = $180,000
Cisco PIX Firewall = $32,000
Cisco Router = $5,000
24 servers x $4,000 = $96,000
20 RAID Storage x $5,400 = $108,000
4 Gigabit Ethernet Switch x $2,600 = $10,400
6 Workstation x $3,000 = $18,000
6 Laptops x $2,500 = $15,000
Hardware Total = $464,400
Tuesday, May 14, 2019

25. Preliminary Sizing Calculations
Labor:
1 Oracle DBA x $80,000 x 1.4 OH factor = $112,000
1 Systems Administrator x $80,000 x 1.4 OH factor = $112,000
2 Oracle Developers x $60,000 x 1.4 OH factor = $168,000
2 Java Developer/Webmaster x $50,000 x 1.4 OH factor = $140,000
Labor Total = $532,000
First Year Total Cost = $402,899 + $464,400 + $532,000 = $1,399,299
