Sooo, thats: 9600 EUR/pa compared to: (365*24 hours)*0.417USD/hour+5216USD = 8868.92 USD = 6719 EUR/pa max. for a c3.8xlarge Linux Heavy Utilization Reserved Instance in Oregon running full throttle all year[1]. And while the manitu server has more cores, Amazons Intel Xeon E5-2680 v2 is more that twice as fast per thread than the Opterons 6272 on the root-server[2]. Actually, amazons offer is already breaking the front-up cost even after ~6 months -- and we save costs should there be downtimes for any reason. As such, I seems to me a reserved ec2 instance is still the way to go ... Best, Bjoern [1] https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/purchasing-options/reserved-instances/ [2] I should know, I have those Opterons in Big Bertha. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
