Rackmount Computing Facility Dual Athlon 1U 4 IDE 44 U rack Achieve higher reliability Achieve Balance between storage and computing power • 120 Gbytes of storage / Athlon 1600 CPU • 4 - 100 Gbyte disks. 2 disk for input data. 2 disks for processed output • $4240 for a 1U Dual Processor system with 4-100 GB IDE drives
Budget for year’s worth of computing equipment • 0.5 Terabyte of raw data/year • Analyses to be performed • Atmospheric Monitoring Analysis • General Reconstruction • Independent Physics Analyses • at least 2 Terabytes of analyzable data • Number of Computing servers for analysis tasks = 2000 Gbyte/200 Gbyte =10 Cost of Computing Servers = 10 * $4,240 = $42,400 /year • Costs of Networking switches/ KVM switches and Rack are approximately $3,000/rack (1 rack can house 44 1U units about 30 compute nodes +monitor) • Additional costs for archival backup of data Storage on 2 sets of DLTs DLT Media cost/year = $80 * (500 Gbyte)/(35GByte/cartridge)*2= $80 * 28.5 Cartridges = $2285.00
