Servers

CIUEM server room with the MzOpen servers


[email protected]

• Hard to plan in advance from Sweden

• Heavily delayed equipment

• Missing tools

• No power

• Problems with transportations

Reflections from implementation


[email protected]

• All servers up and running

• All radio links up and running

• UEM buildings– Computer labs in 4 student residences– One lab in need of reconstruction– One building connected outside the open

network

Network status


[email protected]

• System handed over to CIUEM

• CIUEM owner and so far only ISP connected

• Easily expandable to connect more buildings and more ISPs

• CIUEM responsible for maintenance

• 2 students per residence trained for basic trouble-shooting

Future and maintenace


[email protected]

• Provides Internet connectivity for students

• Computer labs with stationary computers

• Other ISPs than CIUEM can connect

• Wireless cells

• Easy installation and expansion in buildings

Good solution?

Network properties


[email protected]

• No central storage of user files or configuration

• Open.Net – designed for laptops

• Demand for ISPs other than CIUEM?

• Need for wireless cells?

Good solution?

Drawbacks


[email protected]

• Computer labs– Wired networking with static configuration– Centralized accounting with storage for user files

and configuration

• Laptop users– Wireless access points in cells– Use slimmed Open.Net with CIUEM as only ISP

Good solution?

Redesign suggestions

• Subtropical/tropical climate

• Poverty

• Hakuna Matata

• Risks

Mozambique

Experiences


[email protected]

• Internet access in university buildings

Summary

What we want you to remember


[email protected]

• They were not tanned!

• Mozambique is a poor but groovy country
