Wikimedia is starting to use external partners to allow for better disaster recovery and quicker response time in case of a data center wide failure. The first large scale case use is being proxied thorough a company named eBart.
eBart
- Hostname: wintermute.ebart.co.rs / wm (has to be accessed through a bastion host for now)
- Contact: millosh@gmail.com
- User access: tomasz
- Type of access: ssh
- Space: 6.9T
The plan for this is to have a snapshot of Commons available offsite if anything should happen to our data center. The total allotted space should reach upwards of 10T's in the next months as more drives are added to the system. Ideally this off site will host both a snapshot of Commons and possibly an archive of the XML snapshots.
