DRI provides full support and management of virtual servers both on-prem and through cloud providers like AWS and Azure.  We will work with you to determine which option, on-prem or cloud-based, will provide optimum performance for data processing along with the available budget.   

On-Prem Virtual Severs costs:

For each virtual server, there is the added cost of server management which runs at $580/yr for 10 hours of system administration management.  The server management cost covers the initial installation of the virtual server with the latest supported operating system, and any required software application installs. In addition, the server will be kept up to date with the latest OS updates and security patches in order to maintain OSU security compliance. Servers will be monitored 24x7 with staff being alerted if any issues arise.   If for any reason system management time exceeds the 10hrs for the year, an hourly rate of $62 will be applied.
