Total Cost of Ownership Comparison |
|||
In order to deliver a fair and honest "Total Cost of Ownership" comparison between Fusionapps and Rackspace, we decided to keep it simple. We based all Fusionapps and Rackspace pricing on a "sample" quote request. Since Rackspace (unlike Fusionapps) only offers managed colocation using their equipment, we provided two Fusionapps solutions for comparison. A "Purchased Hardware" solution (Based on the same hardware that Rackspace would provide, purchased upfront) and a "Leased Hardware" solution (Based on the same hardware that Rackspace would provide, leased for 36 months). As you can see...Rackspace never stood a chance. |
