This budget assumes that the Wikimedia Foundation will continue to receive donations of older servers and equipment, as we have this past quarter, and that three servers will be set up in France in October as planned (at a colocation facility donating both bandwidth and hosting), lessening the load on our main cluster.
[Projected] Hosting Budget (hardware, hosting + bandwidth)
Avg Bandwidth BW cost Hosting Hardware Net cost**
Q3 2004 : 25 Mbps @$80/mo $6,000 $2,100 $24,500 $28,550
Q4 2004 : [45 Mbps @$75/mo]* [$10,100] [$3,600] [$41,600] [$48,450]
* Projected bandwidth increase : >90% over 3 months (bandwidth actually doubled over the past 8 weeks, but we are using 3-month averages for these estimates)
** A donor has pledged half of the bandwidth and hosting costs for Q3 and Q4; leaving us with $4050 in colocation costs for Q3 and a projected $6850 in costs for Q4.
