• 36 Apache application servers

  • No RAID
  • No redundant power supply
  • DRAC
  • 3 year NBD support
  • Price: $3500 each, $126,000 total
  • With this addition, current traffic levels will leave our application cluster approximately 45% utilised at weekly peak load. Thus we will be able to support a doubling in traffic before we need to purchase more hardware.

• 20 Squid servers (Tampa)
  • 2U, e.g. Dell PowerEdge 2950
  • 1x Intel Xeon Dual-Core 5130
  • 16 GB 667 Mhz (8x2GB)
  • 8x 2,5" SAS 36 GB
  • No RAID
  • No redundant power supply
  • DRAC
  • 3 year NBD support
  • Price: $5000 each, $100,000 total

• Foundry line-card(s) 48 ports (for squids and misc)
  • Price: $11000

• Access switches
  • Cisco 2960G-48 or similar
  • Price: $3500 each, $7,000 total

• Foundry RX-4 for knams
  • Price: $30,000

• Miscellaneous
  • Serial console server
  • management switches
  • etc.

These prices are maximum prices, and can turn out (significantly) lower due to discounts.
