OK
So, it sounds like 4 bladecenters - minus a few. A goal of 28 nodes
isn't out of the question. Of course, IBM would also be interested if
their services interest you, and if you're a big enough IBM customer. I
believe that I know people who will likely do this kind of thing for you
and who are trustworthy and do good work, and have forwarded their
information to you. The people I'd first suggest are our friends at
tummy.com who kindly host our web servers, Mercurial access, DNS, and so
on for us. If they can't help you, I know there are dozens of
consulting firms on this mailing list. Feel free to ask the list at
large. I'm sure you'll find some people to be interested.
The work is probably 1/4 coding effort and 3/4 testing effort -- or
something like that. The majority of the testing effort would not
require more than a 3 computers. The remaining amount would require the
largest cluster you can find to test it on.
Our friends at the Sanger Institute have some pretty large clusters for
testing above your size -- if we could engage their help. I know
they're also interested in larger clusters.
