I disagree. There is a lot of data many business generate that is an opportunity for a savvy backup company to monetize. Besides emails databases, application databases, document management system data, etc. I'm sure most of us backup to external hard disks (if at all) and carry the same to some other location by car. I've even seen some institutions backing up data to a different partition on the same hard disk! On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 6:12 PM, Phares Kariuki <pkariuki@gmail.com> wrote:
That should not be an issue. You will not put the container on a road reserve. But the issue here is the general lack of data centers in sub saharan Africa.
Much as I agree with you, a more pertinent question is whether we have data to justify this... Most business are not plugged in, along with individuals, the purpose of such a datacenter will be mainly to host email...
