MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Information Processing Staff, OPPB
SUBJECT: Acquisition of ADP Equipment and Services
REFERENCE: Memorandum for Executive Director-Comptroller,
Same Subject, dated 27 December 1972
The following is in answer to your verbal questions regarding
reference memorandum.
a. Our requirement Is for 44 spindles of the 3330 type
device. At 100 million characters per spindle, this amounts
to 4.4 billion characters at a monthly rental cost of approx-
imately $39,560.
b. There is no plug-to-plug compatible disk unit for the
3330's.
c. The Cal Comp disk drive as used by OCS has a capacity
of 59 million characters per spindle. Due to the data base
design (block size), we would require 80 spindles (10 units)
of Cal Comp drives and their associated control units at a
cost of approximately $48,565.
d. The cost of the IBM 2314-81 units (20 units), which
is basically what the Cal Comp units replace, would be $85,020
per month.
e. The IBM 3330 units (5 1/2) will occupy 240 square feet
of space. The Cal Comp units (10) would occupy 342 square feet
of floor space. This does not include the required work space
(approximately double) around 10 units vs. 5 1/2. We do not
have this type of space available In the CS computer center.
f. The Cal Comp units would not permit the CS to take
advantage of the Integrated Storage Controllers built Into
the IBM 158 If we decide to go in that direction. This would
be a further cost saving.
