EFGH Meeting Presentation What’s Dana-Farber Research Computing been up to this year. -- Matt Temple
Cost Estimates • 6/8/2010 -- From DFCI Facilities... • > > Matt, there were two versions of capital budget estimates generated by me with • > > help from Bill Leuci/Xnth. • > > Budget estimate 11-004 considered expansion of the existing Data Center to a • > > larder footprint within adjacent area. It was not based on any specific set of • > > drawings but did assume physical expansion of space and mechanical equipment to • > > support 18 racks. Our project cost excluding any Data Center equipment for this • > > scope was $1,958,000. • > > Budget estimate 11-004A considered expansion within the existing footprint to • > > accommodate current growth by consolidating some racks and possibly adding high • > > density rack options. No major upgrades to mechanical systems other than a new • > > UPS and necessary wiring. The UPS would occupy space in the adjacent testing • > > lab. Our project cost excluding any Data Center equipment for this scope was • > > $302,000. • > > We did have one version from the architect showing expansion but when discussed • > > in detail with Bill and group we decided it was not adequate, mostly for • > > mechanical support reasons. I have attached it here for reference, but not to be • > > used for final planning. • > > • > > I am now setting up a PO and agreement with Xnth for the study of current • > > conditions as the funding has been released to cover the PO. I will let you and • > > Lisa know when they are onboard and ready to gather information.
