Why Consider A Cloud Based Dedicated Server

Why Consider A Cloud Based Dedicated Server

As a company, you have the option of setting up your own dedicated server or you could opt for a cloud based dedicated server. A cloud based dedicated server is arguably a better option. There are many conglomerates that would still want an in-house or onsite dedicated server but even some among these major brands that have no dearth of money are considering cloud based solutions, obviously for more than one reason. Here are a few reasons why you should opt for a cloud based dedicated server.

• The first reason is financial. A small to medium business doesn’t have to invest in the substantially vast infrastructure that is needed today. There are virtual servers that are basically rented out. A company gets document storage space without having to buy the hardware. There are services from email to big data crunching which wouldn’t cost a company as much as having an in-house team working on the same. Moving to the cloud would allow a company to use just as much infrastructure as needed and paying just for that. The power costs of maintaining technological infrastructure are reduced substantially. The overhead costs including manpower are also reduced. There is no capital investment whatsoever. There’s no need for backup infrastructure that would be imperative for any company should it have its own servers, hard drives and systems. The company offering cloud based services will have the infrastructure ready.

• A cloud based dedicated server would offer flexibility. A company can pay for just the services that one wants. If abruptly a company requires a certain kind of hardware or software support, then it can easily expand the plan or the scope of the service. This can be done overnight with some providers. In effect, a company is more flexible and its operations are more scalable than with onsite servers.

• A cloud based dedicated server is managed by experts. The servers are maintained by experts, the software offered are the best, the hardware is well maintained and there’s a well detailed redundancy and contingency plan to ensure that the company doesn’t have to deal with lost data, downtime or any such crisis which is typical for any technical setup. Disaster recovery is one of the quintessential benefits of cloud based services.

• Cloud based services make the infrastructure and resources available anywhere. One doesn’t have to be in the office or anywhere in the country for that matter to access the entire company infrastructure. The setup is available anywhere, anytime for anyone who is provided an authenticated access.
