Managed Servers
OTS Data Center operations supports a number of modern server platforms. Servers are billed based on “compute units” or “CU," where 1 CPU core = 1 CU and 1 GB RAM = 1/10 CU. Included within the monthly rate for each server line of service is/are:
- Personnel to perform OS level administration (install, configure, patch and update)
- Network connectivity from the server to the Louisiana State Network
- Facility costs (floor space, electricity, security, generators, fuel, cooling, etc.)
- Base Operating System licensing costs
- Server hardware and maintenance
- Hardware refresh on end of useful life (typically a five-year cycle)
