I'm offering to ask around.  I think it's unlikely I can find someone to
donate a 30 terabyte server.  That kind of powerful of a machine tends not
to sit around collecting dust.  8 servers capable of handling 4 terabytes
each, possibly more doable (but that's based on my guess as to what kind of
CPU that means).
