I would estimate the cost for three years like this:
- 1U single socket Supermicro Xeon E5v4-2630 10core+1GTX1070 GPU = 1500EUR
- operation costs (power+cooling) over 3 years = 1500EUR
- cost of 2 hardware admins 160k/year
- renting local rack space 15EUR/U
This equals about 145 servers for 3 years for us for 1 Million. The setup is highly optimized for _one_ set of data crunching tasks, not DB. We do not need much ram, or network but require a specific CPU/GPU ratio.
- geezerjay 10y ago>cost of 2 hardware admins 160k/year This is by far the most expensive item in your estimate, and I'm sure that you don't suddenly need to hire another pair of admins when you buy a single Xeon blade. Once you factor this fact in your estimates, you'll realise that the unit cost of each server is, unlike your estimate, negligible.
