You are required to provide the Cost Estimate information and answer the Cost Analysis questions.

Server Farm 1: 8 Servers with the following specifications each: Dual 4 CPU Core Processors, 64GB RAM, Linux, 250GB SSD
Server Farm 2: 12 Servers with the following specifications each: Dual 8 CPU Core Processors, 256GB RAM, Windows, 1TB SS
