I’m talking about small owner operated businesses. A lot of them will compete with owner absent franchises that are set up to make $30-50k per year. So the owner can draw that, plus the salary of one employee. Often that puts their salary around $100k. $2500 is what a lot of them would be looking to spend on a firewall, switch, and AP (total) which would have a 5 year lifecycle. They’ll have one or two VMs on a single server. So it ends up being $2500 for a single “server” (VM) if they need Linux for something. The tech industry is out of touch with the small business world and it’s getting worse.
