We used Alibaba Cloud to install the business one server. According to the contingency plan, we should have a mirror site. We had an on-premise server, and to ensure redundancy, we installed that mirror server as a backup server on Alibaba Cloud with the same instances, configuration, and users. We use TSPlus to connect the users. Then, we had two servers, one for business, i.e., SAP HANA, and another for workstation installation using RDP, which is Microsoft-based. On the other hand, the HANA server was a Linux server, either SUSE Linux or another Linux variant. Ultimately, we had two servers in Alibaba Cloud to support our operations.
We're focused on the African continent and how the cloud can drive digitization. What we're doing is using the cloud platform and onboarding businesses that need to scale up in as many of their markets as possible. That's our focus, really. We've got one of the largest Greek companies in Africa onboarded on the Alibaba platform and we're hoping that many of the verticals will be onboarded as well. Our focus is not really on the traditional model. Our focus is on how Africans can leverage tech to grow their business.

We provide the capability to do some stuff on Alibaba. We provide a portal to some other users so that they can use our portal and provision services on Alibaba. We deploy on Alibaba Cloud. AWS has a Terraform template. Similarly, Alibaba has a ROS template. By using the ROS template, you can provision or avail services from Alibaba. We basically use the main infrastructure component, for example, ECS, which is a VM. We also have load balancers and some databases, such as ApsaraDB, MySQL, MS SQL, and PostgreSQL.
