Two Cyclades PM20 Power Distributor Units

The ASF is preparing a new rack to grow into, and it requires a pair of PDUs. We already have the matching Cyclades Console Server, and we have had good results with these units in our existing UL rack.

The deadline on this donation is October 9, 2006, at which time the ASF will need to purchase this equipment itself out of general funds. Please contact the infrastructure mailing list if you wish to donate this hardware to us.

One Sun T2000 Server

Sun has graciously donated one T2000 server to us, and we are nearly ready to push it into production. We would like to have a second T2000 server identically configured, and located at the SARA colo facility in the Netherlands for redundancy. These servers are slated to provide the bulk of the ASF's websites, and are absolutely mission critical.

The deadline on this donation is January 1, 2007, at which time the ASF will need to purchase this equipment itself out of general funds. Please contact the infrastructure mailing list if you wish to donate this hardware to us.

Three Sun StorageTek U320 SCSI controllers

We have an immediate need for this SCSI controller, part #SGXPCI1SCSILM320-Z. We are using our existing Sun T2000 (thanks Sun!) together with a PowerVault 220S, generously donated by Ask.com. We have one of these cards installed already, and we require a second card to allow us to mirror our existing RAID-Z configuration across both sections of the PowerVault. The additional two cards will be used in the T2000 we're requesting above; to be paired with our second PowerVault 220S (also donated by Ask.com).

The deadline on this donation is October 9, 2006, at which time the ASF will need to purchase this equipment itself out of general funds. Please contact the infrastructure mailing list if you wish to donate this hardware to us.

One Dell PowerVault 220S w/ 14 300GB disks

We are preparing loki (an x345) to serve as a hot-spare/backup host, but we do not currently have suitable storage for it. Critical components of our infrastructure, especially mail, are operating without backups, so this additional PowerVault (or similar hardware) is sorely needed.
