2011

 

Quick notes - initial purchase cycle process

• Discussion on procurements re-opened on 2011/05/31. Discussed with facility director on of institutional disk space dire need for STAR (following some chat from the last Collaboration Meeting) - general commitment was to try to find a viable payment solution (still unclear how)
• Initial call for institutional disk space need made on 2011/06/01 - only couple days for feedback (requirements total is needed immediately as agreed with the facility director). Provided feedback insofar

• Other note
  • 2011/06/02 03:33: Valpo U offered to pay back this year what they owed last year (1 TB equivalent)
  • Exceeded deadline (low priority request with even less guarantees):

    • 2011/06/06 16:14: BNL      + 5 TB

2011/06 - FY11 procurement Status

• Requirements turn to the RCF on 2011/06/09 - institutions in blue above were included but institution in red was NOT (for obvious date reason)
• Purchase for the Linux farm went out on the 10th
• Requests for storage quotes went out on the 13th
  • Any other requests will need to be re-addressed at a later time: 2x 26 TB cabinets were ordered exceeding the storage request from STAR of 36 TB total for FY11

Acquired otherwise:

 

	Additional	Total after purchase	%tage increase	S&C plan 2008	Deficit *
Central space (prod)	10.00	345.00	2.90%	377.00	-8.49%
Distributed disk space	430.47	1456.47	29.56%	2659.50	-45.24%
kSI2K farm	3045.00	6900.00	44.13%	30115.00	-77.09%

* ATTENTION: Note-A: deficit assumes a similar run plan - U+U was suggested for FY11 ; Note-B: increase in number of events is not helping; Note-C: if we are lucky and size / events is smaller than projected, the distributed disk may be fine.
