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. 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

'Cost': ~$2700

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.
