budget estimate (completion end 2007?) |
arXiv has long run on very modest hardware for the high usage. We intend to migrate to much more powerful hardware that can then be administered by CIT using DLIT SAN storage; obviating the need for arXiv specilists to do sysadmin and thus positioning arXiv to be more easily maintained withing DLIT |
Simeon |
arXiv Budget |
|
January 2007 |
Systematically document arXiv-related expenses and identify resource needs |
