A big use of the OpenStreetMap data is the web map on OpenStreetMap.org. Along with our hard working team of volunteer sysadmins who keep it going, we are helped by many donated tile cache servers around the world, which speed up the map in various regions.<br>
We are always open to more servers, but the Operations Working Group is currently looking for servers in Brazil, and Australia/New Zealand. If you or your organisation would like to donate a cache server and hosting, we’re ideally looking for a physical server
or powerful VM with 8GB+ RAM and at least 146GB of storage.<span> </span><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Servers/Tile_CDN" style="margin:0px" target="_blank">Read more details.</a></p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.71429rem;text-align:center">
Please email<span> </span><a href="mailto:operations@osmfoundation.org" style="margin:0px" target="_blank">operations@osmfoundation.org</a><span> </span>if you are interested.</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.71429rem">
Our peak Brazil traffic is currently around 65 Mbps. Our peak Australian and New Zealand traffic is currently around 20 Mbps. See the<span> </span><a href="https://git.openstreetmap.org/dns.git/blob/HEAD:/bandwidth/tile.openstreetmap.yml" style="margin:0px" target="_blank">full

<li style="margin:0px 0px 0px 2.57143rem">Brazil has the 10th highest traffic and is the largest country without a cache in it or nearby.</li><li style="margin:0px 0px 0px 2.57143rem">Worldwide peak traffic is 2300 Mbps.</li><li style="margin:0px 0px 0px 2.57143rem">Antarctica and Australia are the two continents we do not have caches on.</li></ul>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 1.71429rem">
We fully manage the software and operating system. All config is managed via<span> </span><a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef" style="margin:0px" target="_blank">our chef recipes</a>. We also run a local firewall on each server. If physical hardware, we monitor
using it SMART, hp-health, etc and report any hardware issues back to the hosting organisation.</p>
