I apologize for the late addition, but based on real-world interrupts |
| 14 |
and non-responses from Vendors, I was initially going to slip and |
| 15 |
present the final infra server request at the next meeting. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
However this past week it looks like there have been more drive failures |
| 18 |
in the existing stuff (including one of the SSDs in ovenbird.gentoo.org |
| 19 |
late Saturday night), and I think I've given the vendor contacts enough |
| 20 |
time, so I'd like to just move ahead anyway. |
| 21 |

The final server quote is here: |
| 23 |
https://dev.gentoo.org/~robbat2/20220312-infrastructure-server-thinkmate-RAX-QN10-21E2.pdf |
| 24 |
Coming in at $25,505 USD/ea before taxes & shipping. |
| 25 |
Does not include any discounts either, which I'm hoping that ThinkMate |
| 26 |
might provide us. |
| 27 |

It includes 3x TLC NVME drives, when I was trying to get QLC drives |
| 29 |
before to save money. However the price of QLC drives has increased to |
| 30 |
the point where it's now $1899/ea for the 7.68TB TLC drives vs $1843/ea |
| 31 |
for QLC. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
- 2x AMD EPYC 7543 CPUs, 32-core/64-thread each. |
| 34 |
- 1TB of RAM |
| 35 |
- 1x512GB OS NVME |
| 36 |
- 3x7.68TB DATA NVME |
| 37 |
- 2x25Gbit networking (and onboard 2x1Gbit) |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Future expansion room: |
| 40 |
- could double the RAM |
| 41 |
- could add another 7x NVME |
| 42 |
- PCIe slot available |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
OS will be RAIDed onto the data NVMEs as well (this is where the Dell |
| 45 |
offering was good for RAID1 OS disks, but Dell was twice the price |
| 46 |
overall). |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Power consumption is not on the PDF, but the website tooling estimates a |
| 49 |
peak of 700W (of which 450W is the CPU at peak). |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
The Foundation would purchase 2 of these machines to start with, with |
| 52 |
the third as a potential option as needed and subject to the CPA advice. |
