Foundation/Local Chapters/United States/Servers
Wikimedia donated 12 of their older Apache servers to OSM Foundation United States. The systems were almost all 2GB, 2x Opteron, 2x 250GB. They were all 1U in size. Using the parts from those systems I built three systems with 4x 250GB, 8GB.
Using funds donated to OpenStreetMap US we purchased a blazing fast 2U machine for US-community. It's currently sitting in a rack at Oregon State University's Open Source Lab.
- 01 March 2010: the systems are set up and networked.
- 04 Oct 2010: A new 1Gbit GS105NA switch was installed and the third system was brought online. It is exhibiting lots of ECC memory errors indicating either a bad motherboard or a bad memory chip.
- 03 May 2011: OSM US purchased a new 2U, 32GB, dual quad-core Xeon SuperMicro system from NewEgg. It will probably use the four 1TB disks from furan (since it has a bad motherboard).
- 21 July 2011: The new OSM US machine is installed at the Open Source Lab and spinning up.
- 27 Sept 2011: After several weeks of trying to get caught up, the virtualized machines running on the new machine at OSUOSL were deemed not speedy enough and are being switched back to bare-metal.

Hosting
VISI donated 5U of server space for one year (starting Feb 1, 2010) to OSMF United States. The three Wikimedia servers built above sit in these 5U. The systems are interconnected with a 1Gbit switch and have their own public-facing IP addresses. The uplink will be 100Mbit with a 10Mbit commit.
Oregon State University's Open Source Lab is hosting the 2U machine for us. It is acting as a host for a virtual machine at the moment.
Data
Toluene holds a copy of NED, NHD, and other data that User:Ahlzen gathered.
Benzene holds an up-to-date osm2pgsql database and is rendering tiles using TileStache. This TileStache instance is also proxying imagery for various locations around the country.
