What we need
While you can always support our activities financially and by getting active yourself, we also have need for specific hardware for our activities.
In particular, we are currently looking for
- backup hardware; more specifically tape autochanger hardware, preferrably DLT. We also need tapes.
- more servers (standard rack mountable 1/2U).
- fiber channel storage capacities for shared disks among the servers.
- remote control devices (power on/off, remote consoles etc)
- 19'' 14 HU rack, plus 19'' UPS and a 19'' switch/router.
(we want to move to a setup where we have one thing that is entirely under our control so there won't be any other SysAds involved in the administration/maintenance of the hardware)
If you have other hardware that you consider donating and would like to know whether we have use for it, please contact office@fsfeurope.org.
