The Wikimedia Foundation's Technical Operations team is seeking proposals on
the provisioning of a new data-centre facility.
After working through the specifics internally, we now have a public RFP
posted[1] and ready for proposals. We invite any organization meeting the
requirements outlined to submit a proposal for review.
You have stated some technical requirements, but not the availability
you would like to have. You probably want to include that you're looking
for a tier-4 data center
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_4_data_center#Data_center_tiers). Is
this one going to replace the Florida data center? Where are you keeping
documentation these days? The information on wikitech seems to be very
incomplete and outdated.
Something related: While travelling in China I noticed the bad
performance of our sites. Would it be a good idea to investigate this
(lack of) performance and maybe consider a caching site somewhere in
Asia? The latency should be much better than getting is all the way from
the USA. http://www.glif.is/publications/maps/GLIF_5-11_World_4k.jpg
(from http://www.glif.is/publications/maps/) gives a good idea of
connectivity by the way.
