We had a request from Andrea to publish a news item he
drafted about the recent Red Hat server donation.
Title: Red Hat Donates Servers to The GNOME Project
ORINDA CA. The GNOME Project thanks Red Hat for their
recent donation of two new servers. The donation is part of
a wider plan aiming to consolidate the location of the
various GNOME hosts around the globe into one single
datacenter. This will help ease day-to-day operations and
reduce intervention time in the case of network disruptions
or outages.
The donated hardware each has 128GB of RAM and 48 Cores.
One has a main I/O device and is an Enterprise SSD made for
high throughput. It will greatly enable running services
like
build.gnome.org and
sdk.gnome.org.
Once again, the GNOME Project thanks Red Hat for their
continued sponsorship of servers, internet bandwidth, and
local hardware-related IT support.
