This page intends to provide us with enough elements to evaluate whether is convenient to install a server (or several servers) in a co-location in Mexico City.
The initial general goals are:
- to address the need to increase MFPL backup capabilities,
- to have part of our infrastructure located in a different set of legal conditions, those ruling telecommunications in México, which will eventually bring progressive mexican lawyer(s) close to our work to back us up,
- to give a concrete initiative for the local support team to engage in MFPL development and to start collaborate locally,
- to create conditions to share sysadmin skills in a process what will benefit mexican counterparts by providing us guidance and the experience and background from the US tech-team,
- to share responsibilities with local techies in the maintenance and development of MFPL infrastructure.
Pendiente de desarrollo
Beneficiarios:
El conjunto de la organización
El equipo de soporte en los Estados Unidos
El desarrollo del equipo de soporte en México
Three aspects of this proposal are:
- Co-location costs (budget).
- Criteria:
- Pricing in Mbits/second, not in GB/TB total transfer per month. We should aim for about 5 Mbit/second.
- Start with 2U (we will need at least two machines connected via serial cables to allow remote restart with passphrase).
- 24/7 access to the facility without needing advance notice
- Option to expand
- Providers:
- Metro Red
- Adolfo will call political allied Gerardo J. who owns a cabinet somewhere in México City, to explore ways to collaborate and perhaps share his collocation.
- Criteria:
- Server (and rack) prices (budget)
- Criteria:
- Hot-swap disk drives: disk drives are the most common hardware replacement item
- Purchase Hard disks separately. Dell hard disks are significantly more expensive then comparable disks bought elsewhere.
- Options
- A recent server installation experience in the Heirich Boell Found give us a sense of what are the prices of a Dell PowerEdge R310 server, bought and delivered in México City. Specifications as reported by the BIOS attached here. The cost offered by Dell without the Embedded Management Card:iDRAC6 Enterprise was close to MXN $61,000 (USD $4,690 by Dec 26th)
- Criteria:
- Local organizing of the mexican support team. People interested in joining: Jesús Franco (individual MFPL member), Iván Carrasco (member through Comité Cerezo), Enrique Rosas (MFPL co-director), Marxistvegan (cyberunions.org), Adolfo Dunayevich (LaNeta.apc.org), Kosa (member thought Solidarius.org.br)
- Exporing alternatives for collocating in our office or in Grupo de Estudios Ambientales offices, an organization close to MFPL member Sin Maíz No Hay País
- Internet Connection providers
- Axtel with symmetric connection
- Telmex with asymmetric connection 10Mbps-640Kbps and symmetric connection offers (we need to call 0180008356391)
- Energy backups
- We have 4 UPS ISB-Solabasic Micro SR inet 800 with batteries dead which we could put to back to work within a week. There is also [APC professional UPS options http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=165] in México.
