I've been working this issue through my management folks. I need to
write up a briefing on why it'd be good for us to host it and I've been
slacking on that- sorry. :/ I'll try to write the briefing and get on
the director's schedule next week. I'd need the actual sparc box but it
sounds like we've got the hardware. I do have an ultra1 I could use but
it sounds like there's much better available.
Assuming management approves, it'd be on a multihomed network on a fibre
ring, I think we have something like 15Mbs from our ISPs. It'd be in
one of the labs I'm the lab manager for behind 2 badge readers with very
limited access and probably in a locked rack (assuming it's a rack-mount
machine).
Anyway, I've been working with vorlon and dilinger (iirc) on it and
hopefully will have something positive to talk about next week.
Thanks,
Stephen
