Resolution:Hardware purchase - September 2006
Whereas,
The Technical Committee requests the following:
There is an urgent need for new application servers (apache/squids), to address the record traffic the site has been receiving. This week traffic reports indicate > 18,000 requests per second, far above our routine traffic of 12,000 requests per second earlier this summer.
The current quotes are in four parts.
Part I & II are two orders of 30 servers each. The original quote prepared by Domas was for 60 apaches @ $3856.00 each, $231360.00 in total. Brad divided the order in half, and approved the first portion immediately as an emergency measure. Part II would be the remainder of the order (30 apaches @ $3856.00 each).
Part III is for database servers, Domas quoted 9 @ $9272.00, total of $55,632.00.
Part IV is for image/storage servers. Total of $24316.00 for 2 @ $12158.00.
It is hereby resolved that:
- The purchase of this equipment per Part I is ratified by the board.
- The purchase of the equipment per Part II is approved by the board.
- The purchase of the equipment per Part III is approved by the board.
- The purchase of the equipment per Part IV is authorized by the board, as amended.
