We were and are still hoping to get at least one machine sponsored as described
- please note that a performant SAN infrastructure is REALLY expensive. If you
look at normal market prices, you start with $100k, so thats not really doable
for Debian. Of course it is not hard to get 10T in disks in a machine, but if
they'll be able to handle something like data.d.o is a completely different
question.
