Honest Abe, I'm not sure what you're referencing on the substantially less than $5M cost for deployment. In this white paper I can't find any reference at all to the deployment cost. The only reference to costs is the conservative estimate cost of $5M per occurrence for credit monitoring for possibly compromised individuals in the event of a security breach on one of Intel's employees' notebooks. However, the paper does state that 80% of Intel employees have been issued notebooks. Assuming 90,000 employees (after recently announced planned layoffs) that would be 72,000 notebooks. At $50/notebook for ERAS it is $3.5M. I'm not sure what the server costs would be but it sounds like it would certainly come in at a total of $5M or less for the entire organization.
