Setting up a network`

[JE78]

For my System Anaylis and Design class we have to configure a network with a server, workstations, sofware, ect. I have just about everything accounted for except setup cost. How much do you think it would cost somone to setup a server and 3 workstataions on a network? Thanks.

Are you counting the cost of the hardware, software and all, or just the networking components?

 

[JE78]

just setting up the networking components. The hardware and software is all accounted for.

 

[rshoemaker]

so you are just wondering about the cost of the labor of configuring the software and plugging up the hardware?

Yep. From taking all the hardware out of the boxes, setting up the network and configuring the software.

Probably 24 person hrs. if everything goes right. If you have two people, one setting up server, the other setting up workstations, should be able to get it done in one very long day, assuming the network is all hard wired already.

thanks, but what about a cost??

EDIT: didn't understand, my bad*

It depends on if you have somone in house to do this or not, if you are having a contractor do it, it will prolly cost @ least $50/hr

 

[rshoemaker]

that would be cheap. $130 hr. for contractor, $90 for in-house😉
