Fall 2007
Upgraded mirror server
The CSClub is running a mirror for Debian and Ubuntu GNU/Linux distributions. We would also like to archive the raw AVI's of our talks (~ 20 GB each). The machine that is mirroring our talks (natural-flavours) is underpowered and we would like to upgrade it.
We would like to purchase the following:
- Two or three 750 GB SATA disks [also using existing SATA and IDE disk] ($240 each)
- 2 GB of RAM [also using existing 2 GB of RAM] ($90)
- ASUS P5K Motherboard ($155)
- Intel E6550 ($210)
- 3ware 9650SE-8LPML KIT ($650)
- Corsair VX550W 550W Power supply ($95)
We would run the set of disks in RAID 5, which would provide 1.5 TB or 2.25 TB of disk space. RAID 5 provides reliability in the case of single disk failure.
We would use the old parts to upgrade one of our office terminals.
We might also want to buy a UPS.
Total: $1680 - $1920
KVM-over-IP system
The CSClub has a number of servers in the MC 3015 machine room. MathSoc and other clubs also have a few systems in MC 3015 as well. If system in the machine room goes down after-hours (e.g. the evening or weekends) we are unable to physically access these systems to perform maintenance. Having a KVM-over-IP system would let us diagnose and reboot systems. It would also reduce the number of times we need to bother the operator in MC 3015.
