Replacement Costs for McAfee

• In 2009, we requested replacement costs from
  departments.
• The cost, built from our technical advisory team,
  assumed
• 21,000 faculty/staff machines are currently
  licensed,
• each machine would likely take 20 minutes to
  migrate,
• at a rate of 50/hour
• Total cost estimated at 350,000
• Current use 12,899 at MedCenter, 6,000 other
  users. Total cost may be closer to 316,000, if
  every machine must be touched.
• McAfee costs nearly 400,000 for three years of
  licensing.

Issues with McAfee Replacement

• Mac/Linux Users
• Possible solutions include
• Retaining a McAfee Mac solution
• Open Source Mac solution (ClamAV)
• Purchasing from a different vendor (Symentac,
  Trend, etc.)
• Help Desk support
• Replacement of Repository? Continued support?
• Student McAfee users? Can we get them to switch?
• Departments that dont want to switch
• What support can we offer? Negotiation support,
  repository support, other support?
• Is Forefront a best-of-breed choice? What about
  ClamAV/Symentac/Trend?
