– Currently: $27/year– Increasing to: $33-$35/year

• Cause: Decreased demand (25%)

• Parallels:– Cost being re-evaluated; likely to remain the same for new

copies, though maintenance may decrease due to better pricing.• Nvivo:

– Currently: $42– Increasing to: $43

• Cause: Decreased demand (4%)

100% ECAL

• Business and Finance (the group that pays for and bills for the MS Campus Agreement) decided to uplift 100%– All units are now covered for ECAL

• Cost difference (per FTE):– CoreCAL: $38.45– ECAL: $44.16

McAfee, Forefront, and the Magic Quadrant

• The Quadrant is for endpoint protection suites only

• OSU is only using AV and AS– Forefront does not have

a complete suite– McAfee is shown as

leading because of the size of their suite

– According to Gartner, FF and McAfee are “on par” in terms of scanning and detection.

Minor SLS Changes

• CoreFTP does not support SFTP, cannot be used for OSU Web Hosting

• Redirect links for Eudora and SSH SecureShell removed
