- | Brainstorming the current and future needs of the ILRI research computing storage infrastructure (we're currently swimming in compute capacity). | + | Brainstorming the current |
+ | |||
+ | ===== Current situation ===== | ||
+ | * HPC (June, 2011) | ||
+ | * ~6TB of usable disk space, ~2.5TB in use right now | ||
+ | * boran (database + VM server, January, 2012) | ||
+ | * ~1.5TB usable disk space, ~20GB in use right now | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Timeline ===== | ||
+ | * **May 18**: Alan, Isaac, Etienne, and Mark meet to discuss projects and upcoming storage requirements. | ||
+ | * very real possibility of a getting an Illumina MiSeq (shorter reads, but lots and lots of overlapping data) | ||
+ | * Cassava genome project? | ||
+ | * **May 24**: Alan and Isaac meet with NetApp storage representative (" | ||
+ | * Existing NetApp is expandable, there are various options | ||
+ | * GK is going to get us a quote for the following infrastructure | ||
+ | * RAID-DP (NetApp's version of RAID6, 2 disk failure) | ||
+ | * Site redundancy (storage syncs nightly via fiber to ICRAF) | ||
+ | * ILRI site will have two controllers for high availability | ||
+ | * ICRAF site will have one controller (less critical storage) | ||
+ | * Capacity 12TB or 24TB (with usable space roughly half of each figure) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Proposed architecture ===== | ||
