Hey party people, I'm looking for a server OS expert. Someone who knows about Windows and Linux Servers at the low level i.e. not stuff like configurations and installations but the low level technical differences and capabilities that differenciate them. In addition I would like someone who knows about the cost of the servers (cost of purchase and/or support) and licensing restrictions that apply. Windows has costs in the website but their are licensing restrictions depending on the server. If u know someone, please send me their contacts. ORS (Or Nearest Skill) applies. *~)
Hi @Wes :-) . There are many gurus on the who will add more info but let me share what I know about Microsoft ( the last time I used one): For pricing : http://chekelea.com/index.php?_a=viewCat&catId=9 . HTHs.

If a user uses multiple computers, the user can access the server from each computer using only a single CAL. However, if a different user logs on to one of the computers, that user will need a separate Per User CAL to access the server. A typical example of the Per User CAL might be for a company that has two Exchange Servers used by 200 employees on 220 computers. This would require two server licenses (to install the product on the servers) and 200 Per User CALs. Because a CAL is assigned to each user, the number of computers accessing the servers is unimportant. Per Device CAL With the Per Device CAL model, a separate CAL is required for each unique device that accesses a server. If more than one person uses a specific computer, one CAL will allow all of them to access the server from that computer. However, if one of these users also uses another computer to access the server, the additional computer will need a Per Device CAL as well. A typical example of the Per Device CAL might be for a company that has two Exchange Servers used by 200 employees on 150 computers. This would require two server licenses (to install the product on the servers) and 150 Per Device CALs. Because a CAL is assigned to each device, the number of users accessing the servers is unimportant. Per Server CAL With the Per Server CAL model, a separate CAL is required for each unique device that accesses a server simultaneously. During setup, the server administrator enters the quantity of CALs purchased for the specific server. If this quantity were set to 30, only 30 computers would be allowed to connect to that server simultaneously. However, if that server served a pool of 100 computers, all the computers would have server access as long as no more than 30 were connected at the same time. After a computer disconnected from the server, a CAL would be freed so that another computer could connect to the server. If multiple servers are used to load balance, separate CALs are required for each server. For example, if you were using two exchange servers and purchased 200 Per Server CALs, you would likely assign 100 CALs to each server. *Per Seat Licensing* , *Per Server Licensing , *Per Processor Licensing, Per Mailbox Licensing
