Buying hardware on this type of grant is not very practical: IIRC, it
would only pay for the four first years of usage of the hardware and
thus requires for some cofunding. So we did not plan much in the
direct costs: looking back at the proposal, it's planned to buy
servers in Bremen, Grenoble, Saint Andrews, SouthHampton, Sheffield.
We might be able to use some of the indirect costs for buying more
hardware besides laptops and the like. However I am not yet familiar
with how everything works, so I'd rather wait a bit before saying
more. In any cases, it would need to be hosted "locally".
Does it sound technically possible to use non-local hardware for the
"sage farm" with little additional sysadmin overheard? If yes, what
would it take, in term of bandwidth as well as technical and legal
permissions on the host network?
Cheers,
Nicolas
