So your employer.... are they a paying Canonical any thing for support customer for those Ubuntu 9.10 installs? Are they paying the $10k+ to have Landscape satellite server on premises?

I do not know whether they paid for customer support, I guest most support requests are too specific (lots of third party software). But they do use Landscape... (I'd guess local)

Can you get a confirmation about the existence of a local landscape server?
And ballpark how many nodes on Landscape? We talking hundreds or tens?
The published rate for Landscape is $150 per node annually before undisclosed volume discounting. And if you are running a local Landscape server that's a reported $8k on top of that.

Yes, they run a local Landscape server. A 2008 report estimates ~900 Linux desktops in the university (yes, universities are Windows shops as well). As far as I know, the intention is to migrate all Linux desktops to the centrally provided Linux environment, as they did with Windows desktops long ago. I have totally no clue about the (volume) pricing, as I am just a user.
