Hi Josephat,

You can lease a server but trust me in the end you will have  actually paid the cost of the server.

Call me if interested.

@Wash....This guys has leased printers service and also outsources ICT maintenance.

He is convinced (or someone convinced him) he can also leased a server (instead of buying) which will physically reside at his office/cabinet.

He is avoiding the capex. I have not been able to convince him otherwise coz while I have loads of info and experience on use of cloud (angani, KENET, Safcom etc), I have no idea if servers are leased in the same mode of a leased printer.

Sorry, lemme think about this a little bit.

Lease of physical servers:

1. I have a server farm and lease each out - depending on specs rqd by client? Naah, that would be expensive.
2. I have a server already running and I co-host a client (VPS)

Yes, VPS is the answer. Which begs the question - what really is the cloud?

So the cloud is run on "imaginary servers"? LOL

Even the cloud is on physical servers sitting somewhere.

Skunks,

Anyone in this business? I have a friend who is interested in one. He knows about "Cloud" but wants to know about leasing a physical server...
