WMF Projects/Data Center Virginia

We're in the final selection phase for which facility will house our new Primary Data Center in the Ashburn, Virginia area.

Feature justification
Currently, all data and primary services of the Wikimedia Foundation are hosted in a single datacenter in Tampa, Florida. The projects and organisation are in a vulnerable position that way, as any natural disaster can strike this site and cause a major impact to the availability of the projects.

To resolve this situation, the Wikimedia Foundation will set up a second data center capable of serving all projects and services. This data center will be located in Virginia on the US east coast.
