What is the difference between a traditional server and a Cloud Virtual Machine? Many enterprises are considering whether traditional server or Cloud Virtual Machine is more suitable for their own needs, which needs to consider many factors. First of all, we must find out the difference between the two by comparing them. Let's take a look at it together with Xiaobian.

Traditional server hosting is when a business buys or rents an entire server dedicated to hosting its own website content and data. While enjoying high performance such as CPU, memory, disk and bandwidth, the enterprise is responsible for all costs of maintaining it.

Cloud Virtual Machine schedules and allocates virtualized resources of server clusters on demand, including CPU, memory, storage and bandwidth. Most Cloud Virtual Machine are charged per resource. Even if a single server fails, it can automatically migrate to an available node and continue to provide services.

1. Total cost expenditure

Price is an important difference between traditional server rental and Cloud Virtual Machine. Dedicated standalone servers are more expensive. This is because businesses pay not only for the physical hardware they rent or host, but also for the manpower needed to host websites/apps and keep the server environment running smoothly. In addition, enterprises need to design servers to handle peak loads, but rarely run servers at maximum capacity due to load variations. This means that some of the server's resources are almost always unused and prone to waste.

Cloud Virtual Machine, because it can easily scale up and down, means you not only get elastic capacity when you need it, but you only pay for the capacity you use. Cloud Virtual Machine leasing is ideal for typical businesses with predictable and varied traffic, such as during product launches or promotions.

2. Flexibility and scalability

Cloud computing servers offer greater flexibility, availability, and scalability than traditional hosting. Cloud Virtual Machine users essentially buy space in clusters of servers built to handle a large number of different workloads, which means not only are you not paying for extra resources, but you are not slowed down by other people's traffic spikes.

3. Demand for personnel and labour

Cloud Virtual Machine All hardware is maintained by the cloud service provider, while customers tune up or down resources as needed and pay for the resources they consume. This means increased automation of cloud hosting and reduced manpower requirements. Using cloud hosting frees up your internal IT staff to focus on needs beyond server maintenance.

The cost of using a standalone server is not just hardware, but also IT staff or teams to keep the server up to date, ensure there are no security vulnerabilities, deploy and execute disaster recovery plans for the server, etc.
