Some Useful Things You Need To Know About Cloud Server

Why Cloud Server is mostly used in businesses? Let’s find out the answer.

The core of the cloud server is cloud computing. This article will introduce Cloud Server (Cloud VPS), the knowledge to give readers the most intuitive understanding of the Cloud Server.

In recent years, the information technology industry has been growing. Along with that development, businesses and organizations will have to invest large capital for the purchase, maintenance and operation of servers. However, with the advent of cloud computing, enterprise organizations will not have to spend too much money to own a server to serve the business development, trade development, application of information technology to production.

Business organizations can choose virtual servers or VPS (Virtual Private Servers) to be used as a dedicated server for business needs. However, organizations today can use cloud technology with greater efficiency and technology.

What is Cloud Server?

Cloud servers provide a virtual private server like VPS but are deployed and developed on the basis of cloud computing. Therefore, the cloud server inherits the outstanding advantages of cloud computing technology that will not be available when using the normal VPS.

Cloud Server, VPS and Dedicated Server: which one should we choose? 

Is it difficult to choose the best one for you?

VPS (Virtual Private Server) is a virtual server that operates as a shared resource from a physical server. Virtual server is formed through the method of partitioning a physical server into different virtual servers. Each virtual server can run its own operating system, CPU, memory, storage hard drive... with the full range of management features and use of separate configuration.

Cloud Server: A virtual server that is deployed on a cloud computing platform, running on a variety of physical server connections. This feature of the Cloud Server gives you instant access to an unlimited supply. For traditional storage environments, these resources are usually limited to a physical server. Cloud Server costs are determined by the number of resource nodes selected, including CPU, RAM, storage space, and monthly bandwidth.

Dedicated Server is a type of hosting on the internet where users can rent an entire server without sharing it with anyone. Dedicated servers are usually located at the data center and are provided with redundant resources, power supplies, and other security features.

This type of hosting allows you to rent an entire server and have access to all resources to host one or more websites. With hosted hosting, there is no transfer of assets or personnel to the web hosting company. This is determined by a number of factors depending on the company. Web hosting companies are generally not responsible for anything other than the hosting work. Processes of work, such as bug fixes and strategic direction, are customer-managed.

To see the advantages of the cloud server, let us carry out a small comparison table among the cloud server, VPS and dedicated server.

CLOUD SERVER

Avaiability

• Data is stored on the SAN, not on the physical server
• Data is backed up regularly
• If a physical server is error, Cloud Server still processes normally and stably 

Expansion ability

• Expand immediately when having the need to do it
• Can downgrade the server if it is not necessary to use so many resources
• Cost-saving with flexible resource utilization

Cost 

• Pay for what you have used
• You can expand or downgrade the resources to save the cost

VPS

• It runs of physical server
• Physical servers may be suspended at rush times leading to the VPS being able to deactivate

Expansion ability

• Resources are virtualized and provided to users
• Physical servers do not have enough resources so they can not provide large resources

Cost 

• Payment depends on VPS configuration
• Common server usage causes VPS to be dependent

DEDICATED SERVER

Avaibility

• Data stored on a server is risky
• You will lose all data if a HDD is damaged
• Costly to deploy and back up data

Expansion ability

• To expand, you  have to buy dedicated and complex hardware
• High server downtime when upgrading

Cost

• High hardware costs
• Pay for the entire physical server

The use of conventional servers  may exist many other shortcomings. But with Cloud Server, it can eliminate some of the most common problems and definitely be able to completely replace traditional servers including VPS. Cloud Server's resource enhancements are simple and fast, and resource upgrades last only a few minutes, and do not require server maintenance at the time of the upgrade. All projects that can be deployed on the same server, not enough resources, can be upgraded with almost no limits.

Advantages of Cloud Server

Easy management

Cloud Server provides you with a full-featured browser-based Web 2.0 management console, full control over resources, server re-installation, and more. and other features.

Remote access

You can access, manage, and share your data anywhere through devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops with a network connection.

High availability

The cloud Server system has a self-monitoring mechanism to the server, the system automatically switch between servers when one of the servers has problems. Sever in Cloud can not inherit the connection, the system will transfer all the data in the corrupted server through the resources available in Cloud.

Easy scalability

If you need more resources to do something, you do not need to hire a new server, and you have the right to upgrade your Cloud resources, conveniently and quickly. You can upgrade server according to your usage needs.

Highly configurable and dedicated

Cloud Server utilizes dedicated server systems from leading manufacturers such as Cisco, Dell, IBM and SuperMicro with high configuration and solid network foundation.

Dedicated Operating system

You may be asked to install Linux CentOS, Ubuntu, Fedora... or any supported operating system publicly.

Cloud server has a lot of benefit that many businesses want to apply it. And you, have you found it convenient and useful? If so, leave the comments below. I wish you had a good day.
