Austin M:  Ok great, please explain the project and we can point you in the best direction
Customer:  Well Right now running my own servers I have about 10,000 clients
Customer:  What I have is a service that allows a fully interactive GPS locating service that is in realtime
Customer:  using GPS in combination with CDMA towers
Customer:  The application use is for example, a oiling company with their rigs. We put our device on there and whoever is on the client can see every aspect of the vehicles status and how fast it is going and any sort of mechanical operation going on in the vehicle, there can even me a 60fps camera installed in the vehicle as well
Austin M:  Ok great, thanks for all the info
Austin M:  Now you stated you were currently hosting this on your own servers
Austin M:  Would you be looking to host on dedicated hardware here at rackspace...or in a shared environment
Customer:  Dedicated
Customer:  because it is A LOT of work to deal with here.
Customer:  Now, I am emulating the data so I would need to probably cluster your more higher end servers
Austin M:  Ok, understood
Austin M:  And do you have an idea of specs you would be needin on these servers
Austin M:  Like cpu, ram, disk space?
Customer:  Well to be honest what do you guys have for selection?

Austin M:  Ok
Austin M:  Well just to let you know for a multi server configuration there will be a server build time of 5-7 days
Customer:  ok
Austin M:  Let me get some contact details from you if you dont mind...
Austin M:  Full name, company name, email, and phone number
Customer:  Im sorry, I dont disclose that information over the internet like that. Could I please have your phone number I can contact you at first?
Customer:  and this doesnt pertain to you personally, but I do not want another company having my company information.
Customer:  without us talking over the phone seriously first.
Austin M:  Ok - well in order to get accurate pricing for a solution its best you speak with a solution specialist here
