complete LTDA purchase - CD already knows the details. Retire old fileservers, using returned thumpers from Fermi.
expect ~400 TB fileservers and 10 standalone linux servers. Presumably to be used for retiring old servers.
perhaps 1-2 fileservers
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) |
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.
Marvin Weinstein I have an LDRD proposal that is being considered for the development of DQC. If it is funded I plan to purchase 3 machines with a minimum of 48 processors and a good GPU and 64 GB of ram and at least 2 TB of hard drive. Since these machines will have 4 or more real CPUs, they will have to run Windows Server. I assume building 50 is your domain, I certainly plan to try and house these beasties with you. |
