Re: [Wg-test-framework] Budget Proposal Test Infrastructure - please review ASAP (ideally by Monday)



The Earthlink attachement is old.  I have attached the newer one (the not redundent power one).

The $825 monthly in there does not included the power change; we are billed for the amount used per month.  I estimated (in the 1st attachment) that it should be less then $739 per month. 

Sys admin is also not done by EarthLink.  #3 list $340 per week which I converted to $1360 per month (which is a little off. $16,320 per year, vs $17,680 per year)  I should have it at $1474 per month.

We do need to add 6.25% Mass state Tax to the hardware costs.

Tried to include some of this below.

Hi all,
I had a quick go at putting together the budget proposal for the Aug 20 board meeting. I noticed a few inconsistencies and have a couple of questions
  • [2] seems to be by an order of magnitude too low – it states low $935 setup and $825 monthly. [1] states extra costs, where do these come from? I just want to ensure we are not double counting anything from [3] and want to understand in case I get probed
  • I don’t know whether I need to add any taxes - @Don: maybe you can help (I did reach out to Earthlink and AllNet). 
Best Regards
Lars

== Attachments ==
[1] XenTestWGColoQuoteAug14.xlsx (comparing Jump and Earthlink quotes for COLO)
[2] Earthlink-01250170-1.pdf – Earth Link Basic Quote
[3] All-Net Quote for Test WG-3.doc (Hardware cost including ongoing support)

== Services ==
We received two quotes. The details are in the attachment – see [1] and [2]

Summary:
* Jump: $8,700 per month plus $8,900 setup.

* EarthLink: 
 * (EL.PM) $3,000 per month, 
 * (EL.SETUP) $9,400 setup.
 * Tax (PM and setup)?

Earthlink has no tax.  No tax on the AllNet setup costs.

 
The WG therefore recommends we go with EarthLink.
  
== Hardware and Support ==
We received a quote from All-Net (see [3]). 
We only have one quote for Hardware at this stage, but will use the spec to get one from the Linux Foundation and chose the cheaper one.

Note: 
One WG member was slightly concerned about not having enough diversity when it comes to HW vendors. Propose to add 10% contingency to allow the WG to chose a more suitable set of machines.

Summary:
Hardware (24 whitebox test servers, 2 main servers, concentrators, switches etc): (AN.HW) $53,079 
Contingency: (AN.CONT) $5,308 
Installation (100 hours labor): (AN.SETUP) $8,500
Support (annual): (AN.SUPPORT) $17,680
Tax?: (AN.TAX) ???
Tax?: (AN.SUPPORT.TAX) ???

The WG recommends we accept this quote.
  
== Mapping Against Budget Categories ==
2014.8e: One-off cost for Hardware : $100000
From this we cover:
* (AN.HW) $53,079 
(AN.CONT) $5,308 
* (AN.SETUP) $8,500
* (EL.SETUP) $9,500
* (AN.TAX + EL.SETUP.TAX) ???


What ever hardware AllNet buys does have a 6.25% tax.

The proposal would be to approve spending of 76387 as a one-off payment

2014.10e: COLO hosting – in 2014 $32000 – for a full year $36000
From this we cover: 
* (EL.PM) $3,000 per month or $36000 per annum
* (EL.PM.TAX) ????

EarthLink has stated no tax.


The proposal would be to approve spending of $36000 per annum for COLO space for a term of 3 years

2014.11e: Remote admin and support of environment – in 2014 $33750 – for a full year $45000
From this budget item we cover
* (AN.SUPPORT) $17,680
* Tax?: (AN.SUPPORT.TAX) ????

I do not know of any tax.


The proposal would be to approve spending of $17,680 per annum for support as per [1]

I think this is #3 (#1 was too low).
