Bad Budgets to Good Technology

Computer Science Research started the twenty-first century with a state-of- the-art networking and storage infrastructure, built out of best-of-breed technology. But as the infrastructure aged, no sufficient source of replacement funds could be found. Even basic maintenance of the existing equipment was becoming difficult. Unless something exceptional could be done, the research mission of the department was in jeopardy. Hear the twists and turns of our ultimately successful endeavour to hold our aging infrastructure together, while simultaneously designing and implementing an new, powerful and innovative networking and storage research computing infrastructure made entirely from low-cost commodity equipment.
