Re: [libreoffice-website] updated infrastructure calculation

What do you mean by "invest in large storage"?

Are you talking about adding a larger set of drives to the servers, or 
are you talking about new servers and storage devices to be added to the 
current ones TDF uses?

How many TeraBytes of storage do TDF/LO have access to currently over 
how many systems?

How many TBs are you talking about increasing to around this coming summer?

These figures would be nice to have when you "talk" about budgets and 
storage needs.

-------------------

Of course, I think you can never have too much storage capacity. My 
Ubuntu desktop has 5-TBs internally [1-TB, 2-TB, 2-TB] and 4-TB 
externally via USB drives [2-TB, 2-TB].  I have almost 4-TB of files and 
data that the 2 external drives are used for backup, but I keep 
increasing the number of files I store on my desktop.  An example is the 
fact that I rip all my CDs to MP3 files and now have over 100 hours of 
Christmas music on my desktop for the holidays.  I have almost every 
album that "The Carpenters" recorded as well.  Then there are the other 
audio and video files I love to watch on the computer, or streaming 
through the blu-ray player.

SO, I am a advocate for as much drive space for active and back up files 
as one can afford.
