The sys admin will be around forever. But what I'm trying to do is estimate the major cost components that make up the sysamin's job.
I'm a market researcher looking for any industry cost data on managing UNIX + Linux + NT server farms. My specific focus is software configuration management -- software distribution and application deployment.
I'll use this data to create a cost model (spreadsheet) which I'm happy to send to anyone who wants the finished product (dot@d-o-tnet.com).
In the interests of full disclosure, I'm doing this work on behalf of a client (a startup vendor). However, none of this will be used as the basis of spam or any sales activities.
Thanks for any pointers / URLs
