Good day.
From what i know:
Safaricom currently is only offering IAAS, they are still haggling with vendor licenses for SAAS and PAAS. I believe that these issues will be sorted soon so that we can enjoy the full cloud offerings. For IAAS, they provision Hardware specs and present the VM for you to install the O/S,App of your choice. I think they have all the hypervisors in their Datacenters (I would, not trusting a single vendor, negotiation purposes etc) Please correct me on this, if i am wrong. ./Sam On Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 10:21 AM, John Gitau <jgitau@gmail.com> wrote:
read up on cisco vmware and emc (VCE) that should give you an idea. Unfortunately for actual implementation you need to sit down with a technicla person from there. For your own sanity dont talk to sales guys about deep technical stuff. Just ask to be referred to someone. jgitau

Hello
Curious, anyone here willing to share how Safaricom cloud is setup? I mean I tried googling and I can't find much technical information other than the normal crap that appear on business publication.
For example, do they use xen for vitualization? What can be adjusted on the console, CPU, RAM, storage ? Is the storage local or shared? For example on EC2, you can set up a VM with storage on SAN or local to the instance? You able to change the firewall? Do you have ability to choose any distribution? For example, on EC2, one can choose go with either RedHat, Ubuntu or even export a local installation as EMI
Anyway, I guess I asking for a technical introduction to Safaricom cloud. Got interested because a friend of mine is interested in using them and I couldn't seem to find anything except this link
