For our consideration, from Grant...


Planning, sysadmins had a year ahead planning meeting end of November
last year. We have implemented most now. We regularly discuss hardware
upgrades and planning at the fortnightly OSM London meets.

I've now added the majority of the historic HW expenditure here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Servers/Upgrades#Upgrade_History
There is likely to be some small gaps.

I've been working on a 6month upgrade cycle with every 12 months being
a significant upgrade.

Upcoming:
- Smaug extra ram (£1300, 32GB, more better) max timeframe 3 months.
- Yevaud extra ram (unknown*) max timeframe 3 months.
- New machine @ Imperial (£4500) max timeframe 3 months.
- Horntail extra disks (~£600) max timeframe 3 months.

* = Prefer to match existing memory brand, need server visit + downtime.

Desired:
- Puff (web frontend) more CPU, likely new machine (~£3000)
- Yevaud extra disks  (~£550)

Desired, but not pressing.
- Errol extra ram (unknown*)
- Katie replacement (~£3500)
- fafnir replacement (~£3500) (justification + support required)

Desired items can be rejiggling by moving existing hardware around.
Needs some work.

Other:
- OSU OSL hardware OSMF expense?
- French Server Upgrades, OSMF expense?

Regards
Grant
