In general Africa has a good opportunity to host datacenter for a cloud provider. They have basic elements to be part of the global communication with high standers like what Asia has. Finally, Ping and Trace route provide a valuable active end-to-end performance for scanning and monitoring networks in the world. They give extensive quantitative and real-time information about the current situation of the networks around the world. Ping and Trace route data can provide information about networks that need to improvements, such as Ghana. Bibliography Amazon Web Services. (2014). Global Infrastructure.
