Guys,
Here is a proposal for making our server better (=less lag + more people). Currently our amsterdam Mesa server is a virtual machine running on a big ass Dell poweredge 2950 octocore server. The VM however uses only a bit of its power.
We are moving our HW to a new location (Equinix). This will impove our access to the internet backbone.
The proposal is to buy dedicated HW like this offer here: dell poweredge EURO 250. This machine should be fast enough for 40+ people. In addition to the initial cost we need to pay for the current = EURO 50 per month.
Luckily, the owner of the current HW is willing to loan us the server to try things out. He has a spare rack server Dell PowerEdge SC1425 Intel Xeon 3300.
I'd like to go this route, but i cannot pay for everything, so who is willing to monthy donate?
