Issue DM-4720: More preparation for FY16 hardware
More pricing iterations with several companies and incorporating that information into our final decision. More Q&A with storage companies re: comparable features. Compiled all storage option quotes into a spread sheet which now forms as a good comparison and helps LDM-144 forecasting. Awaiting quotes for racks and PDUs. Now that rack size is known for the Chilean DC, this will serve us well for LDM-144 costs. Power issues for FY16 hardware are settled and we are ready to schedule installation as soon as the hardware purchase contract is complete. Tagging issues for FY15 hardware complete. Looking into pre FY15 tagging. Requested that LSST/Aura perform an inventory request to complete the circle and prove the process. Working with Spectra / NetSource to create a sustainable tape condo that can serve LSST through 2030.
