While some software vendors charge per processor or by the number of users, which will not drastically change costs, other vendors charge by software tier or size of the box. Shops that must move to a larger box to consolidate should look into these costs because a larger iSeries model may increase software costs.

Yet, that exactly describes In-Q-Tel, which was founded in 1999 with $90 million from Congress. The company, which takes its name from "intelligence" and James Bond's gadget guru "Q," seeks to give the CIA access to emerging technologies it finds of interest. Think companies shy away? Well, other VCs actually ask In-Q-Tel to review their projects. If the CIA is interested, then the product must be hot, right? Any profits from the investment will either be reinvested in In-Q-Tel or used to help the CIA implement some of the technology it sponsored.
