The Infrastructure team is narrowing down the proposed server purchase |
| 12 |
and hope to have it available a week before the meeting, for advanced |
| 13 |
review before voting. |

We are relatively sure about the Networking portion, so I'll present |
| 16 |
that first. This is the most flexible option we put together, without |
| 17 |
spending a lot more money for 100Gbit networking options (which are |
| 18 |
probably overkill). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Networking Total: $4159-$4559 USD plus taxes & shipping |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
1x FS.com S5860-20SQ (high-speed systems) - $1600 USD |
| 23 |
1x FS.com S3910-24TF (OOB/IPMI/embedded/non-10G systems) - $369 USD ** |
| 24 |
Nx DAC/optics/cables - up to $1690 USD |
| 25 |
Nx optical cables - up to $500 USD |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
We also discussed if we might end up with a lot of 1G systems connected |
| 28 |
to the 2nd switch, and if it should have a 10Gbit uplink to the other |
| 29 |
switch. I think this is a GOOD idea and we should go ahead with it. In |
| 30 |
which case there is a slightly fancier model: |
| 31 |
1x FS.com S3910-24TS (OOB/IPMI/embedded/non-10G systems), adds 10G uplink - $769 USD |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
DAC/optics/cables: these are the direct-attach fancy cables or fiber |
| 34 |
optic transceivers along with cables. We need at most 26x pieces |
| 35 |
(probably much less), and the most expensive variants are $65/ea for |
| 36 |
transceiver + cable. |
