Virtualization, Containerization, or None
We need to decide about Virtualization and Containerization plans.


 * OSGeo6 was made without either in part because updating 4 OS was a lot of work.
 * Hardware is somewhat dependent on the solution. Ganeti or Openstack expect lots of cheap machines (3+) to work well. Redundancy is across machines instead of within machine.
 * It should be noted in all virtualization cases we plan to use KVM with LVM based images - Ganeti/Openstack/Libvirt are a management layer on top.


 * 1) |Hardware Option 1-3 $3000-$7500, |Hardware Option 4
 * 2) It's hard to find a dual cpu or high core count in a smaller case. So the more expensive systems could be less if we opt to not fill the drive slots. However we do need space for the foss4g archive and the downloads. So maybe a mix of SSD and Spinning...
 * 3) Option 4 based on a mix of SSD and Spinning disks for large and fast storage. Downloads can be handled by spinning SATA.
 * 4) Hosting Option: OSUOSL - VM of our choosing just like other cloud services.
 * 5) Hosting Option: Other
