HP guys wanted to lease us servers,switches,firewall etc but its damn expensive compared to getting your own equipment. On 7 May 2015 07:39, "Josphat Karanja via skunkworks" < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
@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...
