I see you've saved the company (ahh, $100,000)
per year. For 3 x 16 CPUs.
Hmm. 16 CPU machine. Hmm. $300,000 per
machine? $900,000 for machine cost.
I assume these machines are doing something,
making money? I assume hmmmm 6 programmers
for a complex project to require such major
hardware. Programmers hmmmm. $100K per year
fully loaded cost.
Ongoing support costs for that major hardware
hmmm 20%? $180,000 per year.
An initial purchase of a million dollars
worth of hardware and a several month
development effort of multiple programmers,
(note, this is ALL virgin system, no
tie in with any legacy or 3rd party),
better actually have a profit starting on the
2nd year. So this means about million
dollars a year profit starting year
2 to justify the ramp up costs.
And you would risk that million
dollars to save $100,000 per year?
