[TriLUG] TriLUG Server Refresh

[Jonathan Mainguy via TriLUG]

Pilot takes up about 150GB right now. So 1-2tb should be good

Not sure what access to the Datcenter is like for physically replacing, we
can prolly assume 1 week.

SC - Can yall comment on budget for disks?

At the moment we only plan on running Pilot, but of course want to add more
VM's as we have time to move services off, guestimate around 10?

Support - SC changes every year, and volunteers come and go, so we can
figure out who will support it for the near future, its hard to know who
will support it 12months out. That being said, we should choose something
we can train new volunteers up on easily.
