I personally welcome the idea of having a variety of VPS's available.<br>My buddy from Spain might be coming to town, he writes code for Open Nebula and The Reservoir Project in EU.<br>I intend on having him help me setup a Xen cluster this summer and possibly a VMware cluster, with a special little tool to migrate from one to the other if the need arises :)<br>
Any equipment is good for the project imo, unless its a PI 133Mhz...<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 4:17 PM, Luke-Jr <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:luke@dashjr.org">luke@dashjr.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I have a full height server rack that could be used. Also a PowerEdge 6400 (2x<br>
512 MHz) that I use for family email, website, etc. It's setup for OpenVZ,<br>
though I haven't actually used it on that machine yet.<br>
<br>
I currently have my own just-me game and VPS hosting company using dedis in<br>
Texas, Connecticut, and London. Is the scope of this project merely<br>
colocation, or maybe we should offer VPS hosting as well? ;)<br>
<br>
As far as bandwidth management, something to consider might be agreeing to set<br>
reasonable QoS flags, and having a router that honours them. So any bulk<br>
transfer would get flagged as low-priority while VoIP type stuff could be<br>
flagged as minimize-latency.<br>
