We have the situation that xblade14-2 is regularly saturated (Apache takes
>1min to respond, ssh login as well). The blade is currently used at
least by:

- buildbot
- www.GDAL.org
- GRASS.osgeo.org
- remotesensing.org
- QGIS.org (with CMS)

Hence the wish to move some of these to a more powerful machine.

Best regards,
