Yahoo finalizes Wikipedia hardware order
Sunday, June 26, 2005
According to an e-mail from Yahoo passed on by Jimmy Wales, they have made a significant hardware purchase, totalling 23 servers, for the Wikimedia Foundation.
The order includes 3 HP ProLiant DL385 servers, each with "dual CPU, 8GB RAM and 6 x 146GB 15k RAID 10.". While not as beefy as the current two main database servers, purchased earlier this year when utilizing a portion of the $100,000 dollars gained during the first-quarter fundraiser, they will certainly make a nice addition to the Wikimedia cluster, which now has more than 100 servers including the order.
