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. = Initial = == 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 == 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. == 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) = Six Months Later = == New Hardware == * 2U Server * PowerEdge 2970 or similar class machine * User accessible services * 1U managed switch == 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)
