We are considering purchasing a new computer for the sage.math

We have disk.math.washington.edu, which is an 8-core 2.3Ghz opteron
with 32GB of RAM, which runs *OpenSolaris*.
Also, one could setup a Solaris

Is there anything quicker than the Blade 2500, which is quite old? The
fastest processor that machine could have is 1.6 GHz, which is pretty

One should definitely look into possibility of buying a BladCenter.
The support for InfiniBand and Server RAID, many storage options and
highly configurable interfaces make this system an outstanding hardware
to work on.
There is always an opportunity for hardware diversity also. That makes

I consider that approach last year (in late 2008). Then, without

I am not familiar with such high-end hardware but I think it would be
great to have 2 more sunfire 4450s. I have used sage and geom for
research computations, and they are often quite heavily loaded.

I also think that it would be nice to get the same machines - it is
convenient to be able to switch to another machine when another has
problems or is heavily loaded.
Also, it seems that there are regular fast disk problems - is it
possible to get analogs of sage.math /scratch on all machines?
