        == Services (COLO cost, power and support) ==
        We received two quotes: [3] compares 
        
        
        Summary:
        * Jump: $8,700 per month plus $8,900 setup.
        * EarthLink and All-net: $3300 per month, $9,500 setup
        
        
        The WG therefore recommends we go with EarthLink and
            All-Net (who will also procure and set-up the hardware for
            us)
        
        
        === Mapping to service charges in Budget ==
         
        
          2014.10e: COLO
                  hosting – in 2014 $32000 – for a full year $36000
          
            2014.11e: Remote admin and support of environment –
                in 2014 $33750 – for a full year $45000
            —
            This makes: $65750 for this year 2014 and $81000 for a
              full year
            
            
            As per the quotes, one-off setup charges are
            * Earthlink: $935
            * Allnet: $8500
            * No tax
            —
            Total: $9435 – propose to approve $9500 with
              contingency
            
            
            As per the quotes, monthly charges are:
            * Earthlink: $824
            * Power (estimated): $850
            * Allnet (support): $1474
            * No tax
            —
            Total: $3148 per month – propose to approve $3300 with
              contingency
            
            
           
         
        This would put us at an annual run-rate to host and
          maintain the COLO at $39600 (when we budgeted $81000) and give
          us scope for some extension
        For 2014 in the worst case the budget impact will be $9500
          + 4 x $3300 = $22700 (when we budgeted $65750)
        
        
        Note that the Earthlink contract is for 3 years
        
        
        == Hardware  ==
        We received a quote from All-Net (see [3]). 
        We only have one quote for Hardware at this stage, but will
          use the spec to get one from the Linux Foundation and chose
          the cheaper one.
        
        
        Note: 
        One WG
            member was slightly concerned about not having enough
            diversity when it comes to HW vendors in the proposal.
            Propose to add 10% contingency to allow the WG to chose a
            more suitable set of machines.
        
        
        Summary:
        * Hardware (24 whitebox test servers, 2 main servers,
          concentrators, switches etc): (AN.HW) $53,079 
        *
            Contingency: $5,308 
        * MA sales TAX @ %6.25
        —
        Total: $58388 
        
          
        The WG recommends we accept this quote.
       
      
         
        === Mapping to HW costing Budget ==
        
        
        2014.8e: One-off cost for Hardware : $100000
        
        
        The proposal would be to approve spending of $6000 as a
          one-off payment. We will ask the Linux Foundation to provide
          an alternative quote and will go for the cheaper one, if more
          than 10% cheaper. If not, we will stick with the All-Net quote
          as it is more desirable if the HW is ordered, installed and
          maintained by All-Net
