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.
Most of the relevant details are in the document itself, but feel free to reach out to myself or the list should anyone have any questions.
Hi.
I'm pretty confused how this RFP relates to the "ulsfo" datacenter. As far as I know, "ulsfo" is not being proposed, it's already been approved. Is this RFP intended for an additional new datacenter somewhere in the U.S.?
I looked at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_servers#Hosting to try to gain clarity.
ulsfo is a caching center (varnish + LVS servers, but no backend infrastructure and very few machines)
