Hardware Wish List
Since we are completely dependant on sponsored equipment, being short of essential hardware is unfortunately kind of a natural state for us. So -- here's a quick list of what we currently need the most. If you know anyone (or any company) who could help us out, please drop us a note. Trying to work around old / weak / missing hardware is one of the most unpleasant parts of our job here :(
- Mirror Service:
- Our beloved mirror server could use:
- 6 1 TB Sata disks (E.g. Seagate barracuda ES 2, 1 TB Sata) for our mirror-server.
- A PCI Express controller for 6 Sata disks.
- Backup Storage:
- 2-4 TB of diskspace (SATA RAID) for daily backups
- Gigabit Managed Switch:
- Our Cisco Catalyst 3550 with 10x Gb/s copper ports, is kind of old, and all sloths are filled up. Some new shiny (Cisco) switch with more ports, would be appreciated.
- Other:
Most of our servers are not that new any more. New servers (e.g. big enough for visualizing) in general will be most appreciated.
