Overview
We need to bulk up our storage options for both our vm host and our backup servers.
To do this we are looking at €2800 in hardware acquisition, mostly HDD's.
We got €700 in sponsorship from NetApp with the remaining €2100 from teh C&S Strategic fund.
Rough plan is to have the event where we build the servers (maybe pizza as well for everyone not directly involved?), get them up and running, then at 20:00 head to Scholars for pints.
Long term
Advantage of these upgrades is stability in our hardware, will make it much harder to loose data.
Secondly it also gives us opportunities to train people in enterprise grate tech/tools that they would be hard pressed to do on their own.
Promotion
Hey everyone!
Next week, we're gonna have a session where we upgrade Skynet!
We're adding 48TB of storage to our server! Please leave your jokes for the charity shop bookstore.
NetApp sponsored us to upgrade our servers, and we're gonna build the server together in an event!
NetApp is also promoting some graduate role opportunities so if you're interested in those you should show up!
Free finger food included!
We'll be at the Courtyard Room in the Student Life Building, as usual from 6PM to 8:30!
