Depots
Our standard depot contains one dual-core AMD Athlon CPU, 4 GB of RAM, two 1 Gb network ports, and 4-8 TB of storage space. The standard depot draws approximately 300 W.
We are evaluating a new depot configuration with one 8-core Intel I7, 12 GB of RAM, two 1 Gb network ports, and 23 TB of storage space. This depot may optionally connect to the network via 10 Gb ethernet (via an add-on adapter). We will provide power requirements for this box at a later date.
Network Ports on your Switch
Each depot has two network interfaces, so if supported by your switch, we would like to use both interfaces in 802.3ad bonding mode for increased performance. This requires two switch ports and two ethernet cables per depot.
If not supported, then each depot only requires one port/cable.
IP Addresses
We require one externally-visible IP address for each depot, PDU, or KVM.
Remote PDU
We provide an APC PDU unit for every 4 depots. This allows us to power-cycle a hard-locked machine and do other forms of maintenance that aren't possible using the KVM alone.
Each PDU requires a 110 V power connection and a network connection with either static or DHCP-issued IP address.
Remote KVM
We provide a KVM unit for every 8 depots to allow us to manage the depot remotely. The KVM requires a 110 V power connection (usually supplied by one of our PDU units) as well as a network connection with a externally-visible IP address.
Required Network Ports
These ports should be opened on your perimeter firewall (or firewalls if you have both organizational and departmental firewalls).
