Run humongous jobs, and run them hundreds of times. Expect that having own equipment is most cost-effective, but reality-check against other options such as CAC's RedCloud service (not mutually exclusive).
Project status
4/5/13 (Fri): Decision made that ChemIT will host new server for at least 6 months. This will provide ChemIT more time to work with Jack, Liang and others on pricing out alternative hosting options, but in the meantime putting the server back under support. This includes Lulu coordinating on the timing of the server's move and its changes with Liang (see to-do's).
To do's:
- Lulu and Liang, with Barry, work out timing for when server gets moved from CCMR to ChemIT, and the necessary steps.
- Lulu and Liang work out downtime required for Lulu to replace OS with an OS ChemIT can support.
- Lulu and Liang to work out testing of server post OS change.
- Lulu and Liang to work out service windows for Lulu to do necessary server administration tasks.
Strategy: 2-part
Get Liang set-up with CAC's services (RedCloud?) so he can create the software and test it. And pay per drink at that smaller scale.

Identify a sustainable home for Eldore, longer-term
Project notes and efforts
As of January, ACERT not charged by CCMR. This means the server is not being supported so we should move that server under support sooner than later.
