Re: [Skunkworks] Advice on Cisco Router & Core Switch
by Peter Mugoh 08 May '15

08 May '15

Skunks, I would like to purchase either one of the above and I need advice on the way to go. We are looking at network segregation using different subnets on different VLANs and at the moment we assign IP's by using a Windows DHCP Server. I am not sure if Windows is able to handle assignment of DHCP on multiple subnets but from the little info I have gathered I understand this is easier done on either Cisco Router or Layer 3 Core switch. On our current setup we have Layer 2 2960 Catalyst switches and one 2901 Catalyst Router facing the internet before the Firewall. What would be the best way to set this up? You can inbox your number and I will be glad to call back. Thanks and regards, Peter Mugoh

Re: [Skunkworks] Leasing of Physical Servers
by Patrick Gmail 07 May '15

07 May '15

Hi Josphat, In regard to the above topic: A cloud server is simply a physical server whose services are accessed and consumed remotely. The physical servers could be located anywhere (in a client's server room/data centre or in a service provider's data centre). However, there are various deployment models i.e: 1) Private Cloud: This is owned or leased by a single organization and operated solely for that organization. 2) Public cloud: Owned by an organization that leases/sells cloud services to the general public or a large industry group. 3) Hybrid cloud: A combination of 2 or more clouds (i.e private, public or community) 4) Community Cloud: Shared by several organizations and supports a specific community In addition, the deployment models above enable cloud service consumers to get access to services via various models i.e: 1) SAAS (Software As A Service) - End-user applications delivered as a service, instead of on-premise software 2) PAAS (Platform As A Service) - Application platform or middleware as a service on which developers can build and deploy custom applications. 3) IAAS (Infrastructure As A Service) - Compute, storage or other IT infrastructure as a service, rather than dedicated capability. Now, back to what your friend needs; leasing a physical server which will enable him/her to avoid capex. There are 2 options: 1) High level security requirements - Lease a private cloud where dedicated servers are hosted and managed by a service provider 2) Standard level security requirements - Lease a public cloud where VPS servers are hosted and managed by a service provider Locally, these services are available from Safaricom, MTN, GG(GestaltGild), Angani among others. Otherwise, i don't think he will get a service provider who leases out physical servers and allows him to manage/host them wherever/however he fills like.
