New Server Needed - [OOS] Armbian Project

skorupion

Hello everyone,

Armbian [an open-source project dedicated to providing Linux frameworks for single-board computers] is currently expanding, and we are in need of a new server.

We are looking for a new server that will serve as Armbian's main repository server and will experience occasional spikes in traffic, reaching up to 10 Gbps. In addition, this server will also be responsible for running vital components of our infrastructure.

To ensure that we find the most suitable hosting provider for this project, we're exploring several options. If you are a hosting provider or can recommend one that excels in performance and reliability, we would be grateful for your suggestions. We are also open to paying a part of the monthly payment.

The server specifications we require are as follows:

• Processor: Ryzen 7 3700X or a comparable alternative (Geekbench 5: >=8000)
• RAM: 64 GB (DDR3/DDR4)
• Storage: 4x 2 TB NVMe (RAID10)
• Bandwidth: 10 Gbps @ 324 TB per month
• Location: Europe

We appreciate any information you can share about the hosting providers that you have had positive experiences with, that might be willing to work with us.

If you are a provider yourself, and think that you'll be able to match our requirements go ahead and contact us via e-mail or video meeting as well as just PMing me!

Thank you in advance for your support, and we look forward to hearing your suggestions, and offers.

Best regards,

Rafał Hacuś
Armbian Office Staff

But does he have endless bandwidth?

Yes, but 1Gbps only.

Tagging @Abdullah since I've seen him do high bandwidth 10gbps in Norway.

Tagging @Kuroit since they have many EU locations and open to custom plans.

Edit:
@Scaleblade can also hook you up with something in London.
@Hybula is prem, but I don't think they're active here.

It might be worth adding information/links to the project in OP, not just means to contact you.
This is not intended to sound rude, but to me, this looks like you want (mostly) free/sponsored resources (and a lot of bw at that), but will only provide direct links to contacting you, but not about the project itself, which appears to be, if I am not mistaken: https://www.armbian.com/ , https://github.com/armbian?view_as=public

What I'm trying to say is, maybe spin it up the other way around:
We are Armbian. We have been around for x years and do cool stuff which is why many people are relying on us! Have a look: Link . Currently we are in need of more hardware/servers to power our infrastructure and keep services running steadily to which extent we are looking for a reliable provider to sponsor a server (or offer at a discounted rate) for us with the following specs: xyz. We will list/honor the provider in our code/repos/website (whatever). If you feel up to it, or have any further questions don't hesitate to reach out.
