+Title: Improvements in Debian's core infrastructure
+Date: 2013-04-04 10:00
+Tags: announce, donation
+Slug: bytemark-donation
+Author: Ana Guerrero
+Status: draft
+
+Thanks to a generous donation by [Bytemark Hosting][bytemark], Debian
+started deploying machines for its core infrastructure services in a
+new data centre in York, UK.
+
+This hardware and hosting donation will allow the [Debian Systems
+Administration (DSA) team][dsa] to distribute Debian's core services across a
+greater number of geographically diverse locations, and improve, in
+particular, the fault-tolerance and availability of end-user facing services.
+Additionally, the storage component of this donation will dramatically reduce
+the storage challenges that Debian currently faces.
+
+The hardware provided by [Bytemark Hosting][bytemark] consists of a fully-populated
+HP C7000 BladeSystem chassis containing 16 server blades:
+
+* 12  BL495cG5 blades with 2x Opteron 2347 and 64GiB RAM each
+* 4 BL465cG7 blades with 2x Opteron 6100 series and 128GiB RAM each
+
+and several HP Modular Storage Arrays:
+
+* 3 MSA2012sa
+* 6 MSA2000 expansion shelves
+
+with 108 drive bays in total, mostly 500GiB SATA drives, some 2TB, some 600GB
+15kRPM SAS, providing a total of 57 TB.
