Enhancement #227
Updated by Marc Dequènes about 10 years ago
We acquired a machine from another sponsor, and would like to buy disks to transform it into a user backup machine (instead of our current Thorfinn VDS, which will be switched off when i move out of Paris). backup through an ADSL). It could additionnaly handle supervision and minor admin tasks. Before we invest in anything, we need to find a place for this machine in a datacenter. We cannot afford spending money for its housing, so we need a sponsor. The goal of this task is to prospect and find a sponsor for such a machine, with the following criterias: * the sponsor needs to agree with our policy, which is expressed very simply here: ** the sponsor must not interfere in any way in the administration or content (he may only tell his opinion) ** the sponsor must give at least 1 extra month before shutting down the sponsorship starting from an official announcement (except if it is technically impossible) * 1U space and single PSU entry * network connectivity: ** preferably, good (100Mbps min) Ethernet connectivity with AS34019 (peering), with an optionnal (but would be nice) small emergency link via its own network (used for SSH only) ** or, direct good (100Mbps min) Ethernet connectivity via its own network * *no* network filtering
