20. Things to Consider & Challenge
• Apps : Does an app need to be resilient?
• Better. Scale-out services like Web server, Distributed DB, Hadoop, Object Storage … the best fits.
• Data Center : Do I have to have my own data center?
• Better but not required. because you need to bring OpenRack in.
• OpenRack is the same external dimension as a 19” rack.
• New ideas underway.
• Volume : How many servers do I need to buy to get a cost benefit.
• More is better, then you will benefit from the parts pricing.
• Cost of Rack, Power Shelf and establishing new QA process would be relatively high when you buy
small.
• New ideas underway.
