a call for help

Hey VMWare community (I'm hoping I chose the correct community to post this), my company Vista Net inc. is currently assisting in recovery efforts for victims of the Camp Fire in northern California. I've sent a few Tweets and FB posts regarding our situation, but haven't heard from anyone yet, so I thought I'd give it a go here. Essentially we are looking for datacenter equipment (switches and servers- preferably ready nodes, but will work with anything)  to build up separate stacks in our VCPP cloud systems at our data-center to allow for temporary low/no cost hosting and recovery alternatives for our colleagues who have lost their businesses in the fire. If anyone has, or knows of anyone that might have, "old/decommissioned/retired demo/shiny new/willing to part with" equipment to assist in our efforts, please message me. We can return the equipment once we have secured all of the networks back on their original systems.

Thanks!

This is a very thoughtful gesture, thank you for posting. I do not have any gear to donate, but happy to provide any consulting or guidance for any customers impacted by the Camp Fire.
