Setting up a Small Server Room

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

| I've been asked to collaborate on a grant proposal which includes a
| small server room (1-2 racks, networking, cooling, UPS).

If this is for a U of T group, you might consider asking advice from
various U of T groups.

There is a U of T sysadmins group.  Here's a list of mailing lists:
<http://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/Systems/UofTMailingLists>

Chris Siebenmann is a long-time U of T sysadmin and Unix guy.

Also: Unix Unanimous used to be a place where sysadmins (including
Chris) hung out.  I only attend once a decade, so my knowledge is
limited.

There is *always* a question of whether to run your own server room or be 
hosted elsewhere on campus (or off).  In fact, I remember fights about 
centralizing vs. distributing computing at the U of T dating back to the 
1960s!
