So, I'm a bit unclear on SSD requirements. It seems like a mixed use SSD will work, but uncertain about overall capacity?

Is 3GB the overall requirement? "total data set size at ~3G (uncompressed)" If so, then our dual CPU misc spec would work for this (we'll have to update it as we have not purchased any in the past few months, and we don't have 6 of them spare.) The dual CPU spec just uses dual 120GB SSDs, dual 4 core CPUs, and 128GB RAM.

Also does this have a site preference, codfw or eqiad?

What does "mixed use SSD" mean? As for capacity, sorry for the imprecision, I think it's because I assumed our storage requirements would be way below the smallest SSD options...

OK, so 3GB is the estimate we came up with for sessions, yeah. We might one day end up putting authentication on this cluster as well, and I have no idea what that is, but for the sake of argument let's just double the sessions figure and say 6GB. That'd be 9GB total. So, if we wanted to pad this a scooch, include a little wiggle room, we could add a zero and call it 90GB, which seems like it ought to fit nicely on a machine with dual 120GB SSDs. ;)

TL;DR That spec seems like it would work great!

3 machines in codfw, 3 machines in eqiad

I was incorrect, it is 64GB ram, but that is also within the original request.

Since pricing is private data, I've created sub-task(s) for the quotation and ordering. (Once we get the quote proofed for codfw, we'll just replicate it for eqiad.)
