We see an upcoming need for stable aarch64 Hardware inside our department
According to successful tests in #121261 - Ampere Altra machines seem to be the most reliable for that.
We decided that additional to the 4 newly ordered Ampere Altra machines for DC7 in Prague to be run within openQA production, that we want to have 2 more of those machines to be located in Nuremberg for development and redundancy reasons.
Could you please help to get a quote for 2 ARM Ampere Altra machines with roughly following specs:
- Rough budget around 3000-5000 USD per machine
- Ampere Altra q80-30 (or q80-33) if available
- 512GB RAM (8x64GB)
- dedicated IPMI/BMC, 2x 10G copper
- NVME Disk
if you need further requirements, please coordinate with @szarate
## Suggestion
* Find vendor and get a quote
* If the decision is made to order machines, make sure there is an open ticket including ordering, mounting, installation, etc
