| Currently, what we know are the uses for the three machines we will base our infrastructure on. We also know our Abulafia machine configuration, and Justin Leitgeb's to-be-donated server configuration. What we need to come up with, is the ideal setup for the third machine that we will have to buy. So, the machine configurations and intended uses follow: | <<TableOfContents>> |

| The model that I like best for this machine of the previous configurations is the Penguin Altus 1400.

| We could go with SATA, but I would only do this if we can do it with hot-swappable disks in a 1U case. I suppose that SATA could be a better choice even if it isn't hot-swappable once we get a cluster of web servers... maybe we can get SATA now and live with the consequences until we reach this point. Ideas?[[BR]] I think that we should also negotiate with Penguin on the phone over this configuration. |
