Deployment SolutionsCalculate Your Total Cost of Ownership
On-demand applications save companies upfront and in the long run
Rally’s upfront cost savings are apparent since we eliminate fees for additional servers, operating system licenses, and consulting. Subscription pricing includes everything you need, so that unlike heavyweight point products, you're never surprised by hidden time and technology costs that can quickly add up to many times your original investment.
Use the following checklist to weigh your deployment options.
| Estimated Minimum Deployment Costs | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Rally On-Demand | Rally On-Premise | Typical Installed Product | |
| Administrator (user support, firewall, server, user configuration, application updates) | None | ¼ - ½ full time administrator | ¼ - ½ full time administrator |
| Application server hardware | $0 | $3000 | $3000 |
| Additional server layers | $0 | $495 (VMware ESX server recommended) | Unknown |
| OS | $0 | $0 (integrated) | $800 |
| Database license | $0 | $0 (integrated) | $1900 |
| Automated database backup agents | $0 | $350 - $500 | $1600 |
| Security software | $0 | $100 - $150 | $100 - $150 |
| Performance upgrade per location (optional) | $0 | $4000 + labor | $7500 + labor |
| Recovery from primary data center failure (optional) | $0 | $4000 + labor + facility costs | $7500 + labor + facility costs |
| Minimum configuration | $0 | $4000 ¼ - ½ administrator help desk support |
$7500 ¼ - ½ administrator help desk support |
| Recommended configuration (high performance and disaster recovery) | $0 | $12000 ¼ - ½ administrator facility costs |
$22500 ¼ - ½ administrator facility costs |
Review the recommended system requirements in the Rally Deployment Solutions Guide. A performance upgrade assumes the purchase of an additional installation (server hardware, licenses, OS, backup agents and security software) and the labor to install it at an additional location. Recovery from a data center failure assumes you maintain a separate installation offsite as a back-up.
