Access to computing will drive the development and renaissance of Africa. Computing and the Internet are now the foundation of the global knowledge economy. At present, the vast majority of Africans do not have any access to theInternet or to computing. At Vingu, we work to reduce the barriers of entry to computing in Africa to deliver our dream of “Computing for All.” To achieve “Computing for All” , we need to create a new, more utilitarian way of computing. A promising method is Utility Computing, whereby computing resources are delivered as a metered service. This could be achievable in the future. Today we see Cloud Computing and Virtualization Technology as stepping-stones to utility computing. To deliver the future today, we have developed small islands of utility computing devices that will increase access while delivering affordable computing to users in schools, SME’ s and governments. Our devices utilize the power of desktop virtualization, eliminating many of the problems associated with traditional desktop PCs. They provide a powerful, efficient, secure, easy to maintain and energy saving solution that lowers the total cost of ownership. The solution is comprised of two major components: the Hydra hardware and Vizir software.
