The membership fee consists of three components: a yearly contribution, that makes you a member of the association, a monthly, per server contribution, that covers our fixed costs and finally the cost of the power used per month (measured in kWh). Having a power efficient server saves you money at ColoClue!
(The amounts listed below include VAT)
| Yearly association fee (independent of number of servers) | EUR 60,00 |
|---|
Because the number of powerbar ports is the limiting factor in how much servers can be placed in a rack, we made this the basis for the calculation of the per server contribution per month. This results in the following:
| Power ports | Rack space | Base contribution (monthly) | Power cost (monthly) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 or 2 U | EUR 35,00* | EUR 0,45 per kWh |
| Extra component (1 U rack space, extra network port, extra OOB port**) |
|---|
| EUR 5,00 per month |
| Activation of switch port in NIKHEF*** |
|---|
| EUR 15,00 |
* This includes data traffic, 1 remotely manageable power plug and Out-of-Band management interface (serial, extra network port or extra vlan).
** There can only 1 serial OOB port provided per power port.
*** Maximum of 1 port per member.
