Many folks are leaving the cloud due to costs. We, like a lot of others on this list, can help. I have space in a tierIV data center. We can spin up a VM or do a dedicated box if someone wants to send one. We have been buying Dell R710s on eBay for $200 and $200 in new drives and you are set. We also have some R900s on the way we could spin up a couple of redundant VMs.
Just throwing that out there.
