You have certainly heard of the world wide web, where you can easily 
publish fabulous lists of information in easily accessible form.

A requirement to have 4 machines at one site to perform a particular 
test is not a logical reason to reject the possibility of having, say, 
20 machines at 5 sites to perform all kinds of tests, when the 
alternative is to have no machines at no sites.

If you can find someone to host everything, great, but you have in fact 
already rejected two machines because they are not at the right 
location, when I can see great use for those machines no matter where 
they are.

I think you are wrong.
