Cloud Servers vs. Dedicated Servers

DWAME CLOUD SERVERS VS DEDICATED SERVERS CLOUD SERVERS Virtual servers which run in the cloud computing environment. Cloud servers run as software-independent units. This means that a cloud server has all the software it requires to run and does not depend on any centrally-installed software. CLOUD PROS Immediate software updates O Unlimited instance scaling No hardware to buy/maintain 24 Resilient and Redundant > Pay for what you use Unlimited disk scaling Better collaboration tool X Flexible Dynamiclelastic scaling Increase mobility CLOUD CONS $. DW4 ME Bandwidth limited and expensive Disk space expensive 2$ Lower performance in many cases SQL storage expensive > Lack of control DEDICATED SERVERS A dedicated server is its own collection of hardware. It is a whole computer, complete with all of the hardware that makes up a computer including a processor, hard drive, RAM and power DEDICATED PROS supply unit. Full control Room to grw SQL storage is cheap Abundant disk space High performance > Inexpensive disk space DEDICATED CONS Bandwidth is cheap Rigid specs Physical scaling limit Non-resilient > Always paying for maximum power > Limited phụsical disk space Configuration and Management Hardware failures Sources: http://www.vservercenter.com/dedicated-server http://www.itworld.com/cloud-computing/312635/cloud-or-not-cloud-horizontal-scaling-web-applications http://tomaltman.com/four-benefits-of-cloud-server-hosting/ http://cloudtimes.org/glossary/ http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/cloud/cloud_servers.htm mushroom NET WO RKS wwwmushroomnetworks.com
