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.
