Why Businesses are Moving their Servers to the Cloud?
Virtualization has impacted businesses a lot and cloud servers are changing the data storage aspects. With the emergence of cloud servers, there is no upgrading of hard drives, no external storage devices, and no emptying the recycle bin. Cloud servers have been a wise investment for start-ups as well as established corporations to manage and secure their data.
In this process, an operating system is separated from the hardware without impacting either in any way. Cloud servers use virtualization to allow users to install their operating systems on a generic layer overlaying the hardware. They are software independent units and do not require centrally installed software.
When cloud technology was a novice concept, it took several days for commissioning a server and involved outsourcing the process to a third-party vendor by a server rental agreement or purchasing hardware. A cloud server eases the whole thing and uses ‘redundant hardware’ which is already installed and tested by the vendor. This reduces the provisioning time to merely a few minutes.
Let’s have a look at the benefits of cloud servers:
- Cloud servers offer a more economical solution than the standard dedicated servers. For the same price, cloud provides more resources and flexibility.
- Your data is safer in the cloud environment as a software problem is isolated to and from your cloud environment. Your resources are dedicated and thus stability is guaranteed.
- They are safe, fast, and secure. Cloud servers provide the best stability/cost ratio performance and they do not suffer from the usual hardware problems.
- Cloud provides scalability – easily and reliably. It is more affordable too.
The list is endless. However, one thing is for sure that the cloud server can benefit IT managers largely who need to administer and manage multiple locations and devices. Here, cloud helps them reduce the cost of ownership of their network and find an efficient way to manage the networks and devices/applications.
