7K a month for 14 buildings around the city. The 100 MB is fiber from the buildings to one of two different Telco CO's and the CO's are interconnected by dedicated fiber to us. Then one extra direct fiber run from my building to our ISP.
11K per month when we go to gig. And that set up will be dedicated fiber runs from 13 buildings back to one single location, and then a dedicated fiber run to our ISP. All new fiber with a 10 year commitment. If we want to light the fiber up faster that is free, just up to us to swap out the equipment at the endpoints. There are lots of extra dark pairs if we need them in the bundles. -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Smith [mailto:m...@gatewayindustries.org] Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2011 4:23 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: How much processing power do you need?

Every time I've looked into getting service with that kind of bandwidth it's so expensive it's not even a remote possibility, and I'm wondering if I'm missing something. -----Original Message----- From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:kennedy...@elyriaschools.org] Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2011 3:27 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: How much processing power do you need? (WAS: So, my Mac Mini server arrived today...) We just went through that process. Our individual building servers were up for replacement so the question was do we replace them with more low end boxes or do we buy better boxes and house them at one location. We pulled everything back to the admin building. Let me give you one example of how awesome it is now. We have one clustered NAS for home folders for the teachers and the students. With a little work on groups, access based enumeration and rearranging shared folders all the ELM student home folders are in one root folder. Same for Jr High and HS. Now when Johnny moves mid-year from one building to another we don't have to do a thing. Same thing with the teachers, when the annual summer migration from building to building occurs we fix up their distribution list membership and that is it, we are done. We don't move folders or accounts anymore. Life is much better, assuming you have the bandwidth between buildings. We have dedicated 100 MB fiber between them and it still runs just fine. In a few weeks we will have gig fiber between it all and life will be really good. ymmv -----Original Message----- From: Matthew W.

(WAS: So, my Mac Mini server arrived today...) Agreed, but I have the possibility of running lower-end servers at individual schools. It was just a thought. What I need to do is re-evaluate our servers as a whole.
