Cost of ownership
Cost of ownership comparisons for Data General are not included because
numbers are based on list prices and Data General, more than any other
vendor, bids a price that is based on the competition. Data General's
list prices are considerably higher than HP's, however, both Data
General direct and Data General's VARs have greater control over the
actual bid price. Data General's bid price is almost always lower than
all of their competitors. This pricing policy extends to support and
maintenance. In some instances, a 5 year warranty period at no charge
to customers is included. Prospects that are making a decision on price
alone, should consider investment alternatives. Data General is not
financially strong and the AViiON system, based on Motorola's 88K, may
not be expandable. A strategic decision should include all the costs
associated with purchasing a Data General system. This strategic
approach may prove to be prohibitive because of costs.
