In this meeting, Matt Temple discussed the progress of Dana-Farber Research Computing in 2010, specifically concerning the capital budget estimates for data center expansion. Two proposals were presented: one involving a large footprint expansion that would support additional equipment, with a projected cost of approximately $1.96 million, and another focused on consolidating existing racks with minimal upgrades for about $302,000. The plans are now set for a study to assess current conditions, following the release of funding.
