Does anyone know where I could find a cost breakdown for an ESRI/Microsoft GIS server and database setup?

I'm trying to figure out all the costs associated with an ArcGIS Server/SDE sitting on top of SQL Server, and compare it to the support cost of a FOSS setup.

From Microsoft we appear to need:

Windows Server - cost per processor and CAL for each user (ArcGIS Server apparently needs IIS which is part of Windows Server)

SQL Server - cost per core and CAL for each user

From ESRI:

ArcGIS for Server, Server Image Extension, ArcGIS for Desktop Standard Level (Needed to edit data in SDE)

Any information is greatly appreciated.

  • Don't forget the cost of extra hardware if using Windows, sql server, arcgis vs foss alternatives, based on for instance linux postgis and so on. Notice the "for instance" since with foss alternatives you are free to choose. Commented Feb 17, 2013 at 17:47
