nothing for Iphone?

samir101ng: Hello,

interesting thread. Let me try to help in clearing some issues as regards the problems faced by users here in Nigeria. Am not an I.T guy so please bear with me. The major problem facing users in Nigeria is the lack of constant affordable internet. Bandwidth is a major limiting factor in the deployment of cloud services and server visualization infrastructure. Power is the next major issue. Imagine running a data center 24x7 on generators. The cost implications are enough to drive the prices of any services you may wish to offer. That's the reason why many major corporate companies host their sites and servers offshore. To make matters worse we are saddle with blood sucking mobile operators that are hell bent on extracting maximum cost from their users. The lack of competition coupled with a weak regulator has compounded matters. The opportunities here mentioned are good ideas, but implementing them and making a profit is gonna be tough.

You are right. i believe Nigeria will be a good place for IT or any business once the issue of electricity is resolved. To me.that is the basic fundamental issue. if that can be resolved, technology will improve a lot in Nigeria

routik: @ Topic

@Sky-walker
can you recommend any cost effective Cloud Computing Firm (kind of open source)?
i'll also like to know you better

Depends on what you are after. if you thinking of building your own cloud, you can use this website which will give you all the tools you need . www.owncloud.org . Not a bad idea for anyone in IT who wants to implement cloud storage.

If you looking for companies that provides this services,I am sure you know Microsoft sky drive and dropbox. you can also you that as online backup, symantec has a good one symantec.cloud which contains online backup and end point protection.there are loads. if you want to go into Office365 for emails and sharepoint. It really depends on what cloud services you are after.

dani1luv: Uncomfirmed reports says that wizkid was recently involved in a car crash around 3:30AM around oriental hotel in Lagos this morning.

The Ride worth N50million crashed all of a sudden this morning, but wizkid apparently came out saving himself and also the girls that rode with him.

Thank God for his safety

TouchDown: Highly possible.

Igbos make up 90% of Lagos population and are the movers and shakers in other s/western states.

The 10% probably staged a great uprising no one has,until now, ever heard about.

Na by force to comment?

hmmm... ok ooo.. if you say so

i personally dont think most companies in Nigeria are not ready for cloud services.I think most companies dont have a budget for IT. I was in Nigeria a few months ago and my cousin helped me in setting up a meeting with an insurance company in Nigeria. their server has been down for 3 months and the IT manger was calm speaking to me. i told him how do they survive and he say "paper and biro" . They had hosted email sha with gmail so that was how they kept in contact with their clients and they had internet which was really slow as i was there watching a staff swearing at the computer as her e-mail was opening.they had a funny way of accesing thier data which to me was a security flaw and it has been like that. i dont see the benefits of office 365 for those type of people as i saw that they are used to managing stuffs. i know i cant generalize with that but i went to a few other places and it was almost the same. Slow internet. A company in Nigeria still using windows server 2000. . i knew they were not the people i could pitch cloud services to.

likeme: Is there any office using office 365 or AWS in Nigeria. This is a wonderful cloud service.
A very good example of SaaS: Software as a service.

Not sure if any office in Nigeria will be interested in office 365. I might be wrong though but with slow internet access in Nigeria, that will put most companies off.

also read somewhere here on nairaland i think that Most companies in Nigeria are scared to go to cloud due to security issues

This is getting ridiculous. mods keeps hiding comments of users who are complaining that tonto dikeh is always on frontpage. i know she has paid some of you guys but stop forcing her on Nairalanders. Is she wakes up,its on frontpage, if she goes to the toilet,its on frontpage. what is it with you mod doing this? its getting irritating with this Tonto Dikeh stuff.

liars. just another publicity stunt. Another way to get British American tobacco to bribe you and give you more money.

lacicrips: Infact I just saw that now. I'm getting old. Sigh.

lol me too
