Actual Expenses & Purchase Costs
Comprehensive overview and detailed component breakdown of all actual capital expenditures (Purchase Price) across the entire infrastructure inventory.
1. Executive Summary
This document presents a comprehensive financial overview and itemized cost breakdown of all actual historical expenditures (Purchase Price) incurred for the infrastructure inventory documented in 01-servers.mdx through 16-accessories.mdx.
To ensure complete financial transparency and avoid double-counting in cost-benefit and capital allocation analyses:
- Components acquired as part of bundled host chassis or pre-configured systems (such as pre-installed CPUs, server power supplies, or PDUs included with rack purchases) are explicitly accounted for at CHF 0.00 incremental cost.
- All figures represent documented, actual acquisition prices in CHF (including VAT/sales tax where applicable) across vendors such as Digitec, Galaxus, Brack.ch, Orderflow.ch, Ricardo, and tutti.ch.

4. Financial Synthesis & ROI Analysis
Key Financial Metrics
- Total Documented Assets: 344 Units / Line Items
- Actual Capital Expenditure (
Purchase Price): CHF 68’544.03 - Fair Market Replacement Value (
Estimated Value): CHF 114’669.00 - Net Capital Savings / Procurement Gain: CHF 46’124.97 (40.23 % below replacement value)
Strategic Procurement Efficiency
- Strategic Secondary Market Sourcing: Through targeted procurement of verified enterprise equipment via secondary channels (Ricardo, tutti.ch) for enterprise SAN storage arrays, multi-split cooling, server racks, and high-performance server base units, the organization saved over CHF 46,000 compared to current commercial replacement valuation.
- Standardized Tier-1 Hardware: Despite optimized acquisition costs, all critical compute nodes rely on enterprise-grade hardware (HPE ProLiant Gen10/Gen10 Plus and ASUS AMD EPYC platforms), enterprise SAS 10K / Samsung PM893 enterprise SSDs, and dual-phase power redundancy.
- Transparent Capital Allocation: By strictly tracking zero-incremental cost components (such as chassis-bundled CPUs, PSUs, and included PDUs), future operational expansions and maintenance reserve allocations can be forecasted with high accuracy.
