Redundancy across Data Centres networks.
by Edwin Ngige 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hi Skunks, Thinking of a way of giving a redundancies across NOC. I.e If I terminates several links to one location ( ISP Style) with different providers on p2p. Like maybe using the appropriate connection, safaricom Wimax, KDN Fibre, Jamii Fibre, AK Fibre/ Canopy, Kenstream serial/E1 connection name them depending where the customer is. Am looking to a way, where I can give a backup, such that NOC1 goes down, NOC2 takes up. Note one requirement is the NOC should be 8 or more Kilometers apart. NOC meaning, where all terminates before going out. Regards, Edwin Ngige 254 722 841853

Voip vs E1
by Wagah Hayanga 31 Jul '12

I suggest you find time and consult Washington since he is near you i assume, from the posts and personally having dealt with him on afew issues regarding the same he is your best bet for the answers you seek. For one to effectively answer you, we need to know exactly what your set up is, what you intend to do and achieve, the location of offices, type of pabx etc. In summary Voip is supposed or will always be cheaper and that also means its likely to have good benefits if implemented the right way according to what your plan is. E1 is equally good just that the initial cost is likely to be higher, the rest depends on your internal controls and budgets. -- *Wagah Hayanga* "...indeed, the forest did change but the monkeys in it remained the same" - PLO.

by Samuel Waithaka 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Anybody with any idea what's the cost of repairing a laptop screen? Where can someone have this fixed? A friend had her daughter pour hot liquid on her HP Pavillion. Machine works but screen can't show. Just dims a bit. Or what's the fate? -- Samuel Waithaka http://www.linkedin.com/in/waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka

Team building venue & facillitation
by Muigai Njoroge 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi People, I got a team of 110 heads where 100 of them are beer thirsty. the 110 of them are looking forward to team-build like never before. they need as much fun/ activities as possible. after the long day full of activities, the 100 will like to have the whole night cooling their bodies. what i'm looking for urgently is a site that: 1) can accommodate 55 heads for one night and two days 2) has a team building venue/site and facilitators (or advise if you know of a private facilitator) 3) can allow or offer beer for a whole night. the venue is preferred to be out of nrb. not so far meaning the journey is kido 4 hrs drive to the higher end. if you have an idea or a clue or if you offer such facilities, kindly inbox me and your contacts. I will appreciate so much. Thanx all.
