In this chapter we have provided a sample listing of the various costs your directory service might incur during its lifetime, along with some suggestions for reducing these costs and making your directory service as efficient as possible. If you understand the costs, you can effectively communicate this information and negotiate the funding you need to handle additional capacity and growth. In Chapter 16, Putting Your Directory Service into Production, we will focus on developing a plan for throwing the switch and putting your directory into full production. |
