Hoi,
The best person to get the exact specifications from is Mark- he has 
trashed this out together with Kate on our side and "this organisation" 
on the other side. The whole specification does include routers and what 
not the servers are for squid/apache one general purpose server and a 
database server. Hardware will be installed in a rack for us, it does 
include "hands and eyes" service during European/Dutch business hours. 
Two specified people will have access for emergencies to the premises.. 
They will be Mark- and myself, given the "hands and eyes" there should 
not be much reason to go there a lot.

We will have a whole rack where stuff can be added to. This stuff has to 
conform to the quality of the equipment that will be installed by "this 
organisation". As to bandwith, there is no limit on the amount of 
bandwith. The datacentre is extremely well connected.

Thanks,
