Server Donation
Hi everyone, Several people have kindly offered to donate hardware to this project. We very much appreciate this. There are only two issues with this: 1. The hardware must be located in our server room. 2. Our IT department requires that all servers in the server room are less than 5 years old. It's their way of reducing the number of hardware failures and using the space in the server room as best as they can. What we're looking for: Front end server: This server runs the BOINC daemons and hosts all downloads/uploads. Ideally this would be a reasonably fast multicore server with a fair bit of RAM (>16GB). BOINC database server: We already have a good server for this but it was loaned to us and may be recalled at any time. Specs: HP Proliant DL385 G5, 2 Quad Core processors (AMD Opteron 2356 @2.3GHz), 32 GB of memory Results server: We are currently using an old dual core desktop machine. It's not ideal but it seems to do the job. If you are interested in donating, please do contact us. Many Thanks, Kevin
