Does anyone have a mole inside KNEC? I&#39;d love to know the specifications of the server(s) on which they run the system?<br>That way, I can probably understand what they mean by &quot;cost implication&quot; I still think they can afford a &quot;monster workstation&quot; (BIG CPU, LARGE RAM, SSDs (with TRIM support) on some fast RAID). That can&#39;t be expensive for KNEC, unless they sell mandazi in Kibera. Performance tuning of that machine can be done for them by this community if their IT geeks can&#39;t.<br>

<br>Some guys have suggested &quot;the cloud&quot;. Who says the cloud is tuned to the performance requirements of the KNEC system?<br>It could even be running on some &quot;slow cloud&quot; as we speak.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

According to a high level sources, they are aware of the problem but they say the cost implication of hardware, and  power is too solve a problem that only occurs once a year. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 30, 2011 at 10:37 AM, Raymond Rono <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:raymond.rono@gmail.com" target="_blank">raymond.rono@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

We just have a program which can accept an input, do some processing (whatever it is) and give an output (no matter what it is). A system is more than that!<div>
