We have been allocated a budget of up to $100K for new hardware this year. Here is my suggestion for how we will allocate this: 2nd rack infrastructure and initial X86 test boxes $50K [1] (intended early 2017) reserve retained for X86 hardware appearing later $30K (intended for use in late 2017) (and any arising needs) 2x Cavium ARM64 boxes $16K (purchase about to go ahead) rounding error :-) $4K ----- $100K And, for completeness, some items which do not need to come out of this budget because they are covered elsewhere: Additional Credativ hours Estimates suggest that Credativ for hardware installation hours needed will be within and new rack setup existing contract 2nd rack rental and Ongoing costs - bandwidth ongoing charges not part of this budget 2nd rack and bandwidth Separate from this budget - AB initial provisioning fees will approve as part of new rack from hosting provider contract approval 2x Softiron ARM64 boxes Paid for out of 2016 budget [1] The "2nd rack infrastructure" item needs to cover: - two new principal servers (VM hostss, which will also serve as serial concentrators) - additional internal switch - additional pdus - cables, serial port hardware, etc. - a handful of pairs of X86 test boxes all of which we are currently discussing with our contractors, Credativ. I (or Credativ) will post more detailed proposals (ie precisely what we intend to buy) to this list when we have them. Thanks, Ian. _______________________________________________ Wg-test-framework mailing list Wg-test-framework@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.xenproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wg-test-framework
