Hi Lars

 

The costs are in two parts: colo and test-as-a-service deployment.

 

TOTALS:

$100k-$150k capex for the test machines and infrastructure

$2.5k-$3.5k per month costs for colo service

Additional to pay for an admin

 

Note: if colo costs are unacceptable then could see if a Xen Project member would âdonateâ space, power and cooling etc.

 

See below for breakdownâ

 

Colo costs:

         $2.5k per rack per month (inclusive of space, power and cooling)

         $1k per month for 20Mbps internet with high SLA (could reduce this cost very significantly in return for lower SLA)

         An admin / developer to look after and extend the deployment, possibly part-time

 

Test-as-a-service deployment costs:

A.  Core infrastructure = $24k

B.   XenRT âsiteâ infrastructure = $12k

C.   Mid-range test servers = $4k each (could be lower if happy to go for lower spec machines)

Two options would be:

      Single 16-host site = A + B + 16xC = $100k

      Single 32-host site = A + B + 32xC = $164k
