 Outsourced Infrastructure - Team Foundation Server

Rent TFS through Microsoft SPLA licensing: Maintenance free and on a server at your premises.

Benefits:

  • Based on a subscription model, billing occurs on a monthly basis and is purely for the actual use of the product, reducing the long term costs of using Team Foundation Server

In addition to this:
  • Using this model of software licensing, Software Assurance is built in, meaning that when the next version of TFS is released you automatically have the rights to upgrade and start using it and we do the upgrade for you at no additional charge

TFS is hosted on a Team Foundation Consulting machine, on-site at your premises:
  • Team Foundation specialists install and configure TFS on a server for you
  • This server is delivered to your premises and configured on your network
  • If you require Team Build or Lab Management environment, this is configured on your own infrastructure with our assistance

We maintain the server on a monthly basis, performing tasks such as:
  • Evaluating overall performance
  • Verifying that backups are being done correctly
  • Upgrading the server if the performance is degrading to unacceptable levels

In addition to this:
  • We include a certain amount of hours per month for support, available to your team on any topics relating to TFS. These could be used for customisation of TFS or for team training and mentoring
  • At the end of each month we generate a report indicating who used TFS. We invoice according to your actual usage on a per-subscriber basis, if you have a month where no-one used TFS, the subscriber amount will be R0!

Your TFS is properly configured and expertly maintained so there is no need to retain an in-house TFS expert.
