[Maps-l] OSM XAPI Server Instance

> Total disk resources? (where are the server specs anyway?).

Looking at the specs again, I see I was wrong - the toolserver is going to have
far less room than that. It really can't take 350 GB, it only 584 total. I was
calculating with 2TB, but that's the DB server.

Reiterating the server specs:

* Cassini, the Toolserver: X4150, 2x4 cores, 24 GB RAM, 4*146 GB Disks ~ 1/2 TB
* Ptolemy, the database: X4250, 2x4 cores, 32 GB RAM, 16*146 GB Disks ~ 2 TB
* Ortelius, squid/render: 1x4 cores, 28 GB RAM, 4*146 GB Disk ~ 1/2 TB

So, this means it can only be on the production servers. That would mean
extending the original profile the servers were layed out for, and it raises the
question of access. How is the XAPI accessed? Is it a standalone server? Does it
need apache? So far, I think Ortelius would run squid and lighttpd.

Also, who would maintain it on the production boxes? And is mark OK with having
an extra service there?
