How Much Does a Computer System Cost?
October 13, 2011
IBM introduced a new entry-level mainframe computer in July with a price of $75,000. That was 25% below the entry-level price of the previous comparable model. The new machine will deliver more capabilities, higher performance, and use less energy than its predecessor.
So, as CFO, is this a good deal?
“When I suggested a mainframe everyone started laughing,” recalled Danny Gurizzan, executive vice president at Payment Solution Providers (PSP), Toronto, which provides electronic switching software to banks. PSP had a well-established PC-based IT operation. They always assumed a mainframe would cost too much and had never heard of a $75,000 mainframe.

cloud computing
In the future we will have private cloud servers that will help major companies deal with every department of their business. Such servers will have professional software available which will somehow decrease the costs for private businesses in terms of acquisitions.
computers
Buying a mainframe from that kind of money is rather cheap, but you also have to take in consideration the price of the software and the personnel that needs to operate that mainframe. So it's not exactly just $75,000. It's more than that.

Real Value of Computer System
Well, if We start to count how much computer system cost, better We start from how much Our Company cost especially if We are dealing with theft of data To Prevent identity theft and that's why value of computer system shouldn't be limited by just meaning on operational cost only.
the other thing we need to maintain also is cloud option because this might be a great solution over a simple budgeting. in cloud the problem is security but if we already solved that, cloud might be great powerful tool in next century. Cloud Computing as IT Great Solution

Hi, Visualization is not
Hi, Visualization is not meant to replace on the bike training but can make that training pay off in a big way. Eastern European research has found that athletes improve most quickly if visual training comprises fifty to seventy-five percent of the total time spent training! Like any training imagery will only pay off if you do it regularly and frequently.

"I agree with the above
"I agree with the above poster that risk analysis often lacks clear context of the situation and environment of those parameters. I think it takes a leadership team that has very clear focus and vision of their industry to best interpret what the risks really are. This is why I always want my managers, at all levels, to get out into the field a few times a year, at least. To see whats going on at the base level of consumer and sales."
I found this on another forum, and I think it really points out what is happening in this article.

How Much Does a Computer System Cost?
To my mind, a mainframe is a very good idea!
For a long time people have
For a long time people have scoffed at the mention of EMP (electro magnetic pulse) weapons. seo Many thought it was just a lunatic fringe who spoke of the possibility of this occurring.
They may be getting cheaper
They may be getting cheaper but currently I would still prefer a collection of smaller servers bundled into a private cloud.
If a mainframe goes down you lose access to everything.
everything is relative
I live in Germany and as such prices are not too expensive $75 000 for these machines.
We have such a machine is worth 20% more will be.
So I do not agree that all the same everywhere is cheaper
You want a good system. so
You want a good system. so your investment is worth
Appearances deceive
It's the easiest mistake you can make, by just adding taxes to the shelve cost.
You have to factor in apps cost, repair costs (if the case), administration fees (you do employ people to manage the company computers, right?) and also consider any slow performance affects people's productivity, so a cheaper computer/tablet/laptop could run you more than a more expensive model.
For long-term trend, IT
For long-term trend, IT equipment, the cost will be smaller and smaller.
I agree,also there are many
I agree,also there are many companies out there ,then prices will be in hand
