hi,
we are currently racking amaranth.toolserver.org, which will be the first US toolserver, hosted in Tampa. this system is a Sun X4150 with 32GB RAM and an external disk array with 12 146GB 15'000 rpm disks.
initially, this will be used for a US mirror of cache.stable.toolserver.org, which will improve things using the cache (currently only WikiMiniAtlas) for US users. we might also we it to host the various webapps (like JIRA), taking the load off the existing machines in Amsterdam.
if anyone has any other suggestions as to what this machine could be used for, let us know...

Is it owned by Wikimedia Deutschland or the Wikimedia foundation?

Amaranthus, collectively known as amaranth or pigweed, is a cosmopolitan genus of herbs. Approximately 60 species are presently recognized, with inflorescences and foliage ranging from purple and red to gold. Members of this genus share many characteristics and uses with members of the closely related genus Celosia.
Although several species are often considered weeds, people around the world value amaranths as leaf vegetables, cereals, and ornamentals.
The word comes from the Greek amarantos (Αμάρανθος or Αμάραντος) the "one that does not wither," or the never-fading (flower).
