I'm an Australian computational linguist. I'm doing some research on
language drift on the internet. This requires reasonable amounts of
incoming bandwidth (1-8 Gbytes a day) for analysis, but very little
outgoing bandwidth (perhaps 1/50th of incoming).
running freebsd with 256 mb ram.
with 5 x 40 Gb ide drives (e.g maxtor), with room
for another 3 drives
the cost (if any) of 1-8Gb a/day incoming bandwidth
the cost of say, 50Mb/day of outgoing bandwidth
If, for some unpredicted reason we need to upgrade to
4x the in/out bandwidth estimate above, the marginal cost of
doing so.
I'm on a tight budget (thus ide drives instead of scsi), although that
may improve later if the project gets dept funding. (at the moment I'm
paying for it out of my own pocket). Can anyone recommend a dedicated
server hosting ISP, preferably with a need to correct an existing
bandwidth asymmetry? I'm willing to share a server also, provided it
has scads of cheap drive space.
Many thanks,
Julian.
