If we were to remain at Peer1 we would still need new hardware. We could instead purchase a single machine and improve services in place.
1. Initial
1.1. New Hardware
- 2U Server
PowerEdge 2970
- OpenAFS file server, master KDC, databases initially
- 1U Management console
- IM4004-5
- Smaller than the kvm (2U) and ipkvm (not racked, but using shared 1U with switch)
Full remote reboot and serial console on all machines
- Net cost of $150 with only one server, -$150 with two
- DRAC cards giving us remote reboot and a few other not so useful features cost $350
'Cost': ~$2700
1.2. Removed Harwdware
- 1U Krunk
- 2U Belkin KVM
- 0U Startech IPKVM
Scrap krunk (does it have Ultra320 SCSI drives that could be reused in hopper?), and craigslist/ebay KVM and IPKVM.
1.3. Reassigned Hardware
- Deleuze
- Option One
- Secondary KDC and AFS server
- Maybe store mail volumes on Deleuze and user volumes on new machine
- Option two
- Database server (fast disks and decently fast cpus make it ideal for this)
- Option One
2. Six Months Later
2.1. New Hardware
- 2U Server
PowerEdge 2970 or similar class machine
- User accessible services
- 1U managed switch
2.2. Removed Hardware
- Mire
- Hopper
- Netgear switch
Net space savings of 0U (since the switch takes up space that could not be used for a server unless it were half depth)
