Research and Teaching Unit kit "requirements" for F/Y to August 2011
Research and Teaching unit kit requirements for F/Y to August 2011, roughly in priority order.| What | Why | Requirements | Priority | £Estimate | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| replace "cake" (School DB Server) | age >3yrs; out of warranty; slower than current desktops | three local physical disks, large memory | High | 2500 | |
| replace "cracker" and/or "puffin" (Research DB Server and Demo/Tomcat Server) | ages >4yrs and >5yrs respectively; out of warranty; latter is public facing, former getting increased use; neither VM suitable | basic server fine, larger local disk | Medium | 2000 | could maybe merge into one server to save buying two |
| replace "scimitar" and/or "seavixen" (RAT Virtual Hosting servers, 1850s) | ages >7yrs; out of warranty; energy inefficient | more memory, larger local disk | Low | 1500 | suggest one new server to replace both |
| replace GPFS PE750's | ages >7yrs; out of warranty; energy inefficient | large local disks | Low | 1000 each | how many? |
| new unit laptops | improved work efficiency; increased mobility | standard | Low | 1500 each | would need three |
| replace gridengine/hadoop cluster | its old, energy inefficient, SL6 | TBD | Very Low | many 1000s |
