The sysadmins at the FSF have put great effort into consolidating our server infrastructure over the past 12 months. We have retired more than a dozen servers in the process, and now host most of our infrastructure on three potent machines with many CPU cores, ample RAM, and plenty of disk space. As you may know, we use Xen to virtualize our servers. Virtualization allows us to securely partition our servers into many virtual machines, each dedicated to a limited number of tasks.
