So exactly WHY are we going to a new, bigger capacity setup when we, in some cases (bandwidth), are not yet using the current fully? Can somone explain that? When I was in the corporate mainframe world, we would usually not buy a new CPU until we had been running 100% usage for months..and disks when we were at 80-90% of capacity..
I'm know there is a whole lot I don't know about HCOOP's setup...but from what I can see, the setup under ABU/Xiolink would still well suffice for my needs...I've pulled my sites webalizer stats for 17 months (10 on new and 7 on ABU) into Excel..and yes, they've grown...but still would be a very small user compared to our biggest users...so could I stay back on Interserver and let the power users move on the the new big system and let them pay for that capacity? Yes, I realize there is some HCOOP overhead in disk and bandwidth, and sharing that cost is not a problem...except that I'm not using any email on HC, so my usage of that is nill...but looking at the last month of Apache bandwidth stats for all users, one user accounts for 51% of total, and the prior month, 38% of total..mine averages about 1%...should we pay the same amount for HC overhead, such as wiki and portal, etc? Yes but maybe adjusted for email use or not...but definitely for our indivdual site usage it should be by amount used! I firmly belive we should have sufficient resources for current users and room for them to expand and some buffer for new users, but going overboard to handle hundreds of new users seems to be a bit overkill. -- Adam Chlipala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Nathan Kennedy wrote: >This is silly.

We will be underutilizing what we set up, so the actual usage of any particular member will be trivial compared to all of the resources available. I think the amount of unused resources will be several times larger than the amount of used resources, meaning that any costs assigned based on real usage will be insignificant compared to the remaining cost of unused stuff. Now what to do with the rest? _______________________________________________ HCoop-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-discuss
