I'm pretty confident ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de will receive a hardware upgrade soon, thanks to a sponsor I'll name once it is official. The nostr relay (wss://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/nostr) will also benefit from this!

~75 TByte HDD disk space

several TByte SSD disk space (for caching)

192 GByte RAM (maybe 256 GByte, we'll see!)

at least 20 GBit/sec internet connectivity

7 years of warranty with on-site support

As before, the server will be hosted at RWTH Aachen University (sponsoring power, cooling, network).
