What kind of hardware are we looking at? (And what OS - Win, *nix, AIX, other?) While we're at it, does the server farm need a NAS/SAN upgrade at the same time?

May as well nail down a ballpark figure before we start the fundraising drive - give ourselves a goal to aim at...

 

The Orain server cluster currently runs on Ubuntu 14.01 LTS x86-64. Our current issue is that we have too few servers to handle all the tasks in question (we have 6-8 at present, and some servers are currently handle a disporportionate amount of processes), so we are looking into getting two more, which wiill cost $5 a month per server for upkeep/maintenance costs.

Ther new servers will be used to spread around the various processes used by Orain to keep their server setup going and redistribute the load balance so no one server is handling most of the work, wihich is the source of the issue.

To my knowledge, no additional hardware is also required at this time.
