Call out for Mirrors
02.19.08 - 10:27pm
One Mozilla’s biggest assets is our mirror network. It allows us to update over 100 million users in under 48 hours with security updates, host and push extensions, and much more - all with donated server space and bandwidth, giving us the ability to focus our efforts on supporting the development community and making all the Mozilla products as reliable, secure and feature-rich as possible.
We’d like to build up our mirror network to be even stronger! I am making a call to the community to help us find other mirror sources. Already Paul Vixie from the Internet Software Consortium has stepped up and donated 3gb/s of mirror peak capacity (!). Details on what is required can be found here: http://www.mozilla.org/mirroring.html. While we are always happy to take any mirror donation, we are specifically looking for mirrors which can handle in excess of 100mb/s during peak traffic times. Please contact me directly if you have any ideas of people/organizations/companies that might be willing to donate either bandwidth or mirror space.
