What does it really cost to have your own server for your GE Centricity database?
If you think about it, the cost of owning a server is so much more than that large upfront cost you’d pay to buy the appliance. What’s there to consider? A lot!

Here’s what you really pay for
- Hardware— Server, switch and UPS
- Utilities— server, switch, backup battery and cooling
- Software— Client access licenses
- Labor— initial installation plus on-going IT resources
- Property Insurance— equipment replacement and warranties
- Remote access— access database from other locations
