The space currently uses a lot of old, power hungry hardware and could be optimised by the addition of a small amount of money to refresh the infrastructure. This page stands to collect the ideas on how and what to do with performing this task.

Netapp

The Netapp storage has been identified as a power consuming piece of hardware.

Usage

This machine is primarily used for NFS mounts across the infrastructure.

Replacement

The0 has a 12 disk hardware RAID controller without disks in it that might make a good replacement.
We could construct a JBOD and do software RAID

Questions

What type of FS do we want? (ext4, XFS, ZFS)
Can we do HA somehow?
