Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC has undertaken a project, under the guidance and approval of the RIPE NCC Executive Board, to set up a "warm node" that can operate some of the RIPE NCC's critical services in case of a major disaster in the Amsterdam area. The RIPE NCC wants to engage initially with a reputable and trusted party that can host this node within the RIPE NCC service region. The RIPE NCC is looking for only one hotspot rack. The submissions will be evaluated based on price, the location's suitability, connectivity and accessibility. If you are interested in hosting this service, please register your interest at: <ncc@ripe.net> The deadline for submissions is 12 July 2013. Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
