Toolserver:Admin:Shopping list

Some things we might want to buy, roughly in order of most important first.


 * an additional web server for redundancy (~$2'500)
 * two new servers for redundant user databases; X4150 ~$4000 each (8 disks)
 * two more database servers (one redundant) to handle the two new clusters, S4 and S5
 * new database server to replace yarrow (~8000 EUR)
 * MySQL support|: EUR430/server/year basic (2 incidents), or EUR1'500/server/year silver
 * additional 2530 array (for hemlock?) to store various backups, user-store, database dumps..., or else expand the /home array (could use the one from amaranth? shipping?)
 * a spare or two for each type of disk we might need


 * a new database that could store the complete text in uncompressed form for easy access by users (~5-10TB?)
 * could use zedler's old SATA array for this
 * a new database that could store the DBpedia data. Find out how to get that into MySQL, and how much it would be. This should actually be paried with the respective wiki databases, on the same servers.
 * a new database that could store all the access data collected from teh squids. This should actually be paried with the respective wiki databases, on the same servers.
