consulting for cost of linux based WEB server
I am looking for a consulting in preparing cost estimation to
the following Linux based server:
1. The server is going to be dedicated to some commercial business on
the WEB
2. It will be located in Israel
3. It need serve only several hundred hits (simple page retrieval or DB
query) per day at most. The service is worldwide but most accesses
are expected to be US.
4. It will interface (cgi) to a fairly small sized database
5. It should operate 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
The cost evaluation I need include the following items:
1. What hardware I need and how much it should cost
2. The means and cost of maintaining 24 hours internet connection
(what bandwidth should I wish to have, and who in Israel is a good
candidate to supply it ?)
3. How much I should expect to spent on maintaining the service
(speaking only about the server running the application and not
about bug fixing or adding new functionality) in terms of programmer
power ? Does such task require a full time job ?
I do not need (at least not currently) cost estimation for the
software development effort involved.
I would appreciate whoever has experience with the above issues,
directly mail me and offer his or her consulting and its cost. I would
very much appreciate if some information on the person's experience is
also added.
I promise to answer each mail and make no use with your mail/name other
then for the above purpose.
Thanks Zachi
