Groove Server Administration

[Sam]

We are investigating Groove 2007 for our environment. We are a small shop
so one of the things I am trying to determine is this: Should we impliment
this in-house (We do have full licensing for the Server/Clients) or sign up
for the MS Hosted Groove Enterprise version.

In regards to the Hosted solution, my questions are:

What is the cost per user?
Where is the Workspace Data stored, on each client or on the Hosted Server?
Is the data backed up?
Can I link the hosted solution to my AD?
Is there Groove & TFS or Groove and SharePoint Integration?

What [features] do I lose by going with the hosted solution as opposed to an
in-house implimintation?

Thanks - S
