Need a server? Server Donations

[Batman]

If you're in the market for a good used server, you should check in with the Wikimedia Foundation that runs Wikipedia. They've decided to upgrade, and they're giving away their old hardware.

Most systems (but possibly not all) have the following specifications:

• Dual CPU 2.5 GHz
• From 3GB to 24GB of RAM, depending on role.
• Most have 80 GB or larger HDD (some have two hard drives, some drives are 160GB or possibly even 250GB)

If you are interested, please provide the following information in your email to us:

• Registered non-profit name and information.
• Your contact information, including email address, phone number, and relationship with requesting non-profit.
• Information on the non-profit, their charter, mission and goals.
• Shipping address information for a FedEx Ground delivery (i.e., the shipment destination)*
• How the servers will be used. (We like to know and share with folks!)

* At this time we regret that we are only able to ship servers to USA based non-profits. This is due to the cost of shipping and the various exportation laws and taxes that result from shipping internationally.


Server Decommission Donations
Wikimedia Foundation has been upgrading and adding new servers to keep up with traffic demand and capacity growth as we always do. Recently, we replaced some of our older servers with faster, higher capacity and more energy efficient servers. These older servers are now decommissioned and will be donated away. Do note that they are over 3+ years old and are out of warranty. While we may have placed a lot of demand on them over the years, they are in fine working condition.

Apps closed days ago!

You missed a bit:

"At this time we have closed submissions. We have received well over 100 requests, and will not have enough servers to cover those, let alone more. Thanks for the submissions! ~ RobH @ 2011-06-18 @ 10:00 EST"
