- 1U servers, preferably i386 or AMD64 for our various services (web, email, revision
control, ...). Most of our servers are old-ish and failing. At least
2GB ram and room for two disks (we have all our system disks
mirrored).
- 18GB or 36GB SCSI drives
- Large ATA (EIDE) disks (for our big backup/storage RAID)
- 1U or 2U servers, in particular non-i386 ones (Alpha, Opteron,
...) for setting up smoke testing of perl5 and parrot.
16+ port console server, preferably one we can ssh to. We got one from Cyclades, it's awesome!
- Bizrate got us a great little gigabit switch we use for the
internal network, but it's about to be full. Another "managed" (snmp)
switch would be handy. Preferably a gigabit one.
If you have some other useful spare hardware or can help in another
way, email webmaster at perl.org and we'll see if we can make use of
it.
