TCO Takedown The Sun Java Communications Suite delivers less than one-quarter the TCO of Microsoft Exchange 2003. 09.August.2005 - As electronic communication has become the engine of business, there are more challenges than ever to keep it humming--overflowing in-boxes, security risks, potential disruptions due to spam and viruses, and industry regulations. Of course, IT managers must face these problems while keeping costs under control. Fortunately, the Sun Java Communications Suite enables secure, reliable, and cost-effective delivery of a rich set of communication and collaboration services. According to data recently published by IT industry analyst firm The Radicati Group, the total cost of ownership of the Sun Java Communications Suite is less than one-quarter the total cost of ownership of Microsoft Exchange 2003 (see chart below). The Radicati Group study concluded that, because of the scalability and performance of the Sun Java Communications Suite, a Sun server, on average, "can support over 26 times more users than an Exchange 2003 server. This enables organizations to dramatically consolidate their messaging and collaboration infrastructure ... thereby reducing acquisition, maintenance and administration costs substantially."
