A place to track projections for hardware going into Building 50 - for power, space and cooling planning purposes.
FY13 Projection
Fermi
$600k Options include
- replacing 2 Oracle servers
- 35 nodes to go into the general queues
- potentially another 400 TB disk
- unknown amount of tape (5 TB?)
BABAR
ATLAS
LSST
EXO
CDMS
HEP Theory

Mid FY12 Update
Fermi
$500k left to spend in CY12. Options include
- replacing 25 glastlnx standalone servers (with perhaps 8 beefier ones)
- contribute $35k for 2 5 TB tape drives
- 35 nodes to go into the general queues
- potentially another 400 TB disk
- unknown amount of tape (1 vs 5 TB?)
BABAR
- $35k for 2 5 TB tape drives
- 20 nodes added to LTDA
- line card for the LTDA switch, and new Etherite for the serial consoles
ATLAS
- 2 cabinets of mostly storage
LSST
- ?
EXO
Hoping for the following. Not sure how much of the disk money is really left due to other EXO expenditures.
...
- replace interactive login servers ki-ls01-06
CDMS
- $16k for disk, but would prefer buying in to a shared storage solution
HEP Theory
- 24 TB disk hoped for
LCD
- 1 Dell R610 for grid access to their fileserver
FY2012
...
BABAR
...
complete LTDA purchase - CD already knows the details. Retire old fileservers, using returned thumpers from Fermi.
...
Fermi
...
expect ~400 TB fileservers and 10 standalone linux servers. Presumably to be used for retiring old servers.
...
CDMS
...
perhaps 1-2 fileservers
...
ATLAS

The ATLAS Tier 2 projection is that we will spend about $220k on hardware (more if recharge costs are low, less if they are high). In addition, it is a reasonable guess that there will be up to $50k of other ATLAS-related purchases. According to my rules of thumb, this will translate into at most 90 rack units and 27 kW dissipated. We should also expect to retire our three oldest Thumpers, and offer to retire our 79 Sun X2200 M2s that are in one of the Black boxes. |

- our FY11 CEP for storage should complete soonish with about 1/2 rack (4x4U + servers), power density is modest (~250W/U) |

EXO
...
We have budgeted approximately $32k/year for file servers, $20k/year for miscellaneous servers (or whatever) and $5k/year for tape for the next few years. Given that we are now taking data at a fairly steady rate we will need to review our requirements and may need to make some adjustments.
