Growth in colocation centres to lower cost of data iColo – The Star Kenya

The upsurge in the number of data centres in the country is projected to lower the cost of data locally, African technology infrastructure company-iColo has said.

There has been an increase in the number of cables landing on the Kenyan Coast, which has driven up demand for colocation facilities.

Acolocationfacility, or colo, is a data center facility in which a business can rent space for servers and other computing hardware.

According to the firm, which designs, builds and operates state-of-the-art carrier-neutral data centers, the latest developments have prompted it toexpand operations with a new Sh2 billion data centre.

CEO Ranjith Cherickel says the centre will allow up to four undersea cables to terminate at the facility, which will in turn reduce data costs locally.

As demand rises for cloud storage, heavy content streaming, e-commerce platforms, e-learning apps, telehealth systems, fintech innovation and online businesses, the new cable is expected to offer additional broadband to the national fibre backbone network.

As more systems come in, there is more competition more volume and generally pricing going down so in the next ten years data wont be any expensive, said Cherickel.

The continued growth in consumer demand for connectivity and data could unlock new markets for co-location data centres, content development networks and Over-The-Top service providers in the country, he noted.

Kenya is expected to attract billions worth of investments into its data centre market on the back of the continents growing internet economy.

Investments in submarine cables in the market have increased over the past few years.

Major investors include telecommunication providers and hyper-scale operators working to create strong fiber connectivity and connections across the country.

The company has also added that it is committed to the sustainability aspect of data centres, having implemented a Solar Energy system for the Nairobi and Mombasa data centres.

Kenya is witnessing the growing adoption of digital services such as cloud, big data, and IoT driving the demand for data centers in the region.

However, most facilities in Kenya are based in Nairobi, and with the shift now focusing on Mombasa.

In the coming years, the market is expected to witness data center investments in other cities, with Mombasa becoming a popular hub. We will open our third colocation facility in Mombasa,Cherickel said.

Colocation service providers witnessed a strong uptake for their data center spaces by existing customers, owing to the growth of Covid -19 induced demand.

Kismet Bagles opening 2nd brick-and-mortar location – Fast Casual

Dec. 8, 2022

Kismet Bagels, which launched as an online pop-up shop in 2020 and opened its first brick-and-mortar earlier this year in Fishtown, Philadelphia, is adding a second location Friday at 1700 Sansom St., in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse neighborhood.

The 600-square-foot space will function as a takeout-only shop, serving drip coffee from Moonraker Coffee Roasters as well as grab-and-go items, various bagel sandwiches, loose bagels, schmears and spices.

"It's been a crazy two years, especially the last several months since we opened in Fishtown, but we're excited for this next step, and we are ready to open in Center City, where there is a ton of foot traffic," Co-Founder Jacob Cohen said in a company press release. "While we love being represented in different parts of the city with our wholesale operations, being able to now have a shop in both Fishtown and Rittenhouse means we achieve another huge milestone of ours."

Kismet Bagels wholesales bagel packs and schmears at businesses such as DiBruno Bros., Riverwards Produce, The Rounds, OCF Coffee, GoPuff and various farmers' markets.

How Jodi Horton co-founded the Women’s Epic race – Utah Business – Utah Business

The Founder Seriesis a column by and about Utah founders and how they got to where they are today.Click here to read past articles in the series.

My family moved from Arizona to Utah when I was seven years old. My parents assumed everybody in Utah knew how to ski, so they signed my little brothers, my sister, and me up for skiing lessons right awaythe beginning of my love affair with Utahs great outdoors.

Ashlee Hinds and I launched our first Womens Epic race in 2021. We each bring different things to the table in a collaborative and creative way that has worked for us since day one. We have 10 years between us, and the age difference has worked out really wellI only notice it when building our playlist for the races. Ill ask her, Do you like this song by Fleetwood Mac or Nate Dogg? and shell say, Ive never heard of them, and then I remember were a decade apart!

Ashlees background is in fitness and marketing. I credit so much of our current path to Ashlee and her ability to think so far outside the box. Several years ago, Ashlees family owned Crazy Bobs Bair Gutsman, one of the hardest races on the Wasatch Front. She wears many hats and also serves as the race director for Womens Epic.

On founding a wool blanket company

I stepped away from the workforce after welcoming my daughter and son to the world. I had always wanted to start my own business. Doing it from home, in between naps and feedings, seemed like the perfect time to do so.

I began deep diving into the research of different trending markets, and thus, Lane & Mae, a luxury merino wool blanket brand, was born. I thrive on building a businessthe creation of a new brandand I love the early stages! My focus was on the quality of the merino wool while building a beautiful online and social presence. I was incredibly particular about the colors I carried, the dyeing process, and all the outsourcing details.

I launched, and numbers grew quickly on Instagram. Within a year, I caught the attention of a major luxury brand retailer. They were interested in carrying the brand, but to do so, I would need to scale in a big way. At that time, I didnt know how I was going to lead a team with two young babes at home, nor was I interested in doing so. However, I wanted to see it go to the next level. Offers started coming in, and I eventually sold my business within a year and a half of launching. Fast forward to 2019, I was busy consulting for small businesses to help ensure they had a social footprint, all the while continuing to research market trends hoping to find something new to spark my interest.

The launch of Womens Epic

In the spring of 2020, Ashlee and I were talking about our summer plans and the races we were hoping to participate in. That conversation was the aha moment. I had finally found another business opportunity that not only excited me, but I saw the long-term potential of it right away. Many brainstorming sessions followed.

Ashlee and I feel very fortunate that with Womens Epic, we have been able to create an environment where women can feel comfortable yet do something incredibly challenging together. I think weve really honed in on creating a memorable experience.

Weve often been asked why we launched during a pandemic, and I believe it comes down to knowing that humans, to their core, crave deep and meaningful connectionsmyself included. We believed sharing that connection on a mountain with so many incredible women was very much needed for so many that year.

There were so many unknowns, but when you believe something will be successful, you pull from that excitement and find a way. We started Womens Epic with the intention of getting more women in the mountains. It wasnt until after our first race that we truly realized how many women living in Utah, with mountains in their own backyard, had never experienced hiking or the feeling that comes with summiting a mountain.

Womens Epic really began to evolve from there. We discovered a gap in the trail running world, and we have become very proactive to start filling that void by giving more women the opportunity to get out on the trails.

Our first race was on July 31, 2021, at Brighton Resort up Big Cottonwood Canyon here in Utah.

Womens Epic sold out months in advance, unheard of for a first-year race. We also scored some big sponsors, including On Running and Pit Viper, from the get-go. I believe we were able to show them our vision in a way that resonated. Partnering with these major brands was a massive accomplishment that first year, and developing our relationship with them has been rewarding.

For HPE, The Cloud Is A Private And A Public Matter – The Next Platform

Three years ago, Hewlett Packard Enterprise was the first major hardware and software infrastructure vendor to announce plans to make its entire portfolio available as a service, setting 2022 as the deadline for making that happen.

Antonio Neri, chief executive officer at HPE, and other executives saw the move, which is based on the companys GreenLake utility platform, as a way to extend the reach of its systems and software into the booming hybrid cloud space dominated by hyperscalers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and Google, with a strong focus on the private cloud part of the equation in the datacenter, at colocation facilities, and at the edge.

Since then, HPE has aggressively grown the services it offers through GreenLake, building out the compute, storage, and connectivity capabilities, adding HPC, AI, machine learning, analytics and other fast-emerging technologies to the lineup, and supporting offerings from partners like SAP. This has helped HPE not only make GreenLake more attractive to a wider range of organizations but also keep in front of others like Dell Technologies, Lenovo, and Cisco Systems, all of which also are embracing the as-a-service model for their products.

There also are reports that HPE is looking to scoop up cloud services and software company Nutanix to bolster GreenLake, though neither company has even confirmed there are negotiations ongoing.

As we wrote about this summer, GreenLake is at the center of HPEs future plans and revenue hopes, and growth of the as-a-service business in both orders and revenue has been steady if not spectacular. As seen in the chart below, for HPEs fiscal year 2022, orders grew 68 percent year over year, with the fourth-quarter annualized revenue run rate hitting $936 million, up from $858 million the quarter before. That helped drive overall quarterly revenue up 7 percent, to $7.9 billion, and annual revenue up 3 percent, to $28.5 billion.

GreenLake has 65,000 customers, a 96 percent customer retention rate, and more than an exabyte of data under management.

Its an indication that as enterprises become more cloud-savvy, theyre understanding that the best strategy is hybrid cloud, with a mix of public and private clouds, according to Vishal Lall, senior vice president and general manager of HPEs GreenLake Cloud Services Solutions group.

If you go five or six years back and you would have spoken to enterprises, they would have said, Im going down the path of cloud and cloud means the public cloud, Lall told journalists during a briefing in the run up to this weeks HPE Discover show in Frankfurt, Germany. But now, if you have the same conversation with customers now, theyre basically saying, Im going down the path of cloud, but cloud means a little bit different for me and Im thinking about putting the right workloads in the right environment and thats a mix of private and public clouds.

Lall noted that half of data is being created outside of the traditional datacenter or cloud which means in large part the edge as the number of Internet of Things devices and systems rises sharply and that is driving the evolution of organizations cloud strategies as they juggle such issues as data gravity and latency, costs, and control.

Where the data is being produced is driving the way companies are thinking about their digital transformations, he said. One of the things theyre learning is that the approach they had for the public cloud at first essentially is not working very well, especially now more and more of the data is being produced at the edge.

At the two-day Discover event in Germany, HPE is putting an emphasis on the private side of hybrid clouds. In June, the company rolled out GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise, an automated and scale private cloud offering for organizations that want to run both traditional and cloud-native applications that includes virtual machines, container, and bare metal workloads and comes with GreenLakes pay-per-use consumption model.

This week, HPE is building out Private Cloud Enterprise by adding AWS ESK service to its list of container offerings which includes HPEs own software in its Ezmeral software portfolio to give developers more deployment options for their Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code work. HPE also is running out a range of infrastructure instances optimized for compute, memory, and storage workloads along with another instance for general-purpose computing.

The idea of a single or homogenous one-size-fits-all works for some generic types of workloads, but in practice, more of our customers want to run more optimized workloads but they need it in that private cloud experience for performance, geo-locality of the data, security, any number of reasons, said Bryan Thompson, vice president of product management for GreenLake Cloud Services Solutions. By presenting these different optimized instances, we help customers configure and enable that cloud experience to optimize for their workloads, achieving the density for that generalized compute or AI types of instances for workloads all the way through things that might be optimized for HPC types of workloads, focusing on east-west networking or high-performance storage access.

In addition, HPEs Data Fabric hybrid data management plane will run natively on GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise, creating a single namespace spanning the public and private clouds to make it easier for organizations to access data regardless of where it sits.

For GreenLake, the vendor also is expanding the partner offerings to include GreenLake for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and GreenLake for VMware, which was announced last month. HPE is bringing a unified view to analytics enabling organizations to use and cost numbers for GreenLake as wells as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform and offering GreenLake for Data Fabric and Ezmeral Unified Analytics through a new Ezmeral early access program.

Its all part of HPEs push to remake the long-time datacenter hardware supplier into a company that provides enterprises with the cloud-first offerings and services that are needed in a big data and hybrid cloud world.

The thing about this private cloud is its delivered as a service, so its different from what you might have expected from an HPE or traditional hardware, Thompson said. Its not about a bill of materials. Its a service provided to the customer with a rate card-consumption experience. What services am I consuming? How long do I consume them? Whats my cost per hour? It gives that public cloud consumption experience now delivered in the form factor optimized where they needed to be, in their datacenters, in their edge locations, in colocation.

It also grows the customer base beyond the IT administrator to include application owners and developers through open standards that deliver API and CLI interfaces as well as cloud-native services, he said.

Dedicated servers can be replaced with bare metal servers, which have no hypervisor overhead and can be virtualized utilizing cloud computing services. This greatly enhances the performance of the hosted apps. As you can anticipate, buying a single machine for your requirements alone has a cost. Because these servers function just like standard PCs, there is a significant likelihood that you may require customer care and technical assistance at some time.

A critical element that must be taken into account while setting up an IT system is servers. This is because it may be the cornerstone for the effective operation of the complete system. Recently, bare metal servers have become increasingly popular. However, because the terms bare metal and dedicated servers are interchangeable, many people commonly misunderstand them. With bare metal servers, the overhead visor that supports virtualization with cloud computing services is removed. The performance of the application is enhanced as a result.

In terms of talking about bare metal servers, the paragraph above is only the tip of the iceberg. There is a tonne more information on bare metal servers that need to be covered. A comprehensive overview of bare metal servers is provided in the section that follows.

Bare Metal Server: What is it?

A physical computer that has been built to operate for a lengthy period to deliver specialized services is known as a bare metal server and is thought to be extremely stable, resilient, and dependable. It is not possible to share a single servers resources across two or more tenants since it is a single-tenant environment. A bare metal server can be free from sounds that often hurt the virtual environment thanks to this split. Additionally, because of this separation, the server may function as a steady environment, which is perfect for processing huge amounts of data.

Additionally, bare metal servers give businesses direct access to the server and let them make use of the underlying hardware architecture. As a result, they are given additional alternatives when building a platform for a service or application. To put it briefly, performance is improved by adding software and removing physical hardware.

Bare metal environments

Physical hardware underlies any system, virtualized or otherwise; however, the phrase bare metal distinguishes between a virtualized environment and a physically dedicated server. They are not shared across many clients in a data center when it comes to bare metal.

A virtualized environment is composed of actual hardware, as was already established, but the deployment approach for shared hosting is different. Since they utilize virtual resources, the end user does not have access to the bare metal level. A bare metal servers single tenant can access the root level to obtain additional software choices; however, this is not the case with a bare metal hypervisor.

Bare metal server

Servers made of bare metal are an excellent option for small and medium-sized businesses. This is because they are an affordable hosting option with quick growth and automation capabilities. Since bare metal servers are made to handle high-intensity workloads, such as those generated by business intelligence and database software, they are ideal for sectors like banking, healthcare, and government. Organizations such as render farms and video encoding activities prefer bare metal servers over virtualized servers due to increased performance availability.

Nowadays, businesses are experimenting more with ML and AI, which combine big data, math, analytics, and visualization. The data processing and GPU capabilities of bare metal servers make them the ideal platform for such jobs because GPUs are the engine that powers deep learning. Additionally, businesses can rent a server from a managed service provider or host bare metal servers in their data centers.

Managing the Server

A big workforce of IT professionals is required to manage bare metal servers properly, but the responsibility can be avoided by renting a server. Once leased, the servers management falls under the exclusive purview of the managed provider, who offers a wide range of services to streamline the system. In other words, by outsourcing managerial responsibilities, one can focus more on the goals of the business. However, if youre unsure of how to handle it without outsourcing, the following guidance might be useful:

Updates: To protect servers from malicious attacks, it is strongly advised that businesses perform routine OS updates and software patches. Additionally, its necessary to frequently run the server application tools ClamAV, rkhunter, and chkrootkit.

Monitoring: A business must constantly keep an eye on the operational metrics of its servers, switches, and firewalls. Firewall policies must be defined to limit traffic based on service ports and destination IP addresses.

Operation management includes several tasks, including data migration, domain name services, hardware replacement, bare metal recovery, and backup. A company should start by determining why it needs bare metal servers in the first place. Every use case calls for a distinct configuration because it might be used for production or development or quality assurance.

An enterprise can choose to self-configure once they are aware of the intended use, or they can ask a managed provider service, which frequently provides pre-configured servers for data processing, intensive graphics processing, and other operations. To have complete control, an enterprise can also decide on the operating system, control panels, and root access that are used beneath the database software. There are still other options, such as installing or configuring a hypervisor specifically for a virtualized environment.

The finest of current technology is offered by bare metal services, which have established themselves as a crucial part of the IT architecture of many businesses. A bare metal server offers customization capabilities coupled with a flexible framework, which can be used for everything from hybridizing infrastructure by combining physical and virtual assets to finding a long-term solution for data storage and transport.

The Evolution of Bare Metal Servers

An explanation of bare metal servers A bare metal server is, to put it simply, a physical server without any software or hypervisor. Processors, storage, and memory are their parts. Bare metal servers are actual servers that are only used by one user, which makes them stand out when compared to cloud-based or virtual hosting services. It may be a person who wants backup hosting for vital data or a website for a full company with many users and permissions.

The main selling point of bare metal servers when they first appeared was that they made it possible for people and organizations to buy their own dedicated server space without having to self-host or share resources with others. This degree of discretion and independence was offered for the first time by a hosting option. Similarly, bare metal servers may offer faster speeds and more dependability than shared hosting choices since resources might be dedicated entirely to a single customer rather than shared among several customers simultaneously. But when customers started looking for less expensive hosting choices, virtual and cloud hosting briefly returned to favor.

What the Future Holds for Bare Metal Servers
