Can anyone point me to any good, recent publications that compare the costs of setting up and maintaining server infrastructure vs. the cost of commercial hosting? I realize that there are a ton of variables underlying the question, but I suspect someone's done some relevant case studies. I'm imagining CIO-oriented reports that are specific to the academic context. I'm pretty sure that it would be cheaper and more reliable to use a commercial host in many cases, but I'd like to provide more substantial data.

Thanks Peter. I take it from the quietness of this thread that – as we both thought – there's not much out there at this point.
