Which is better, a CVM or a traditional server? The comparison between CVM and traditional server can start from several different problems and compare the difference between them, which is helpful for users to choose the most suitable product solution. Let's take a look at it next.

1. How long will it take to put the business online

When using a stand-alone server, the minimum time required to bring the business deployment online is about 1-3 days. Because it involves server hardware configuration, power on, environment setting, debugging and so on, this series of work can only be delivered to you for normal use. But with cloud computing, you can get resources from the cloud, create a CVM instance, and start using it in minutes or even seconds.

2. CPU, memory or disk upgrade

Both cloud servers and stand-alone servers allow hardware upgrades. However, the difference lies in upgrade efficiency. Using a CVM, you can automatically upgrade the CVM configuration through API with just a few mouse clicks. But this is not the case with standalone servers. Upgrading the hardware of the stand-alone server requires manual processing by the computer room staff, and the machine needs to be suspended at the same time.

3. Cost-effectiveness and high availability

Compared with the rental cost of a stand-alone server, the high availability (HA) environment in which the business is based on the cloud server can save 60% of the cost. If you need to use multiple CVMs, the time required to configure the HA environment and load balancer can be completed in a few minutes.

Although stand-alone servers can achieve a highly available environment with multiple servers, this process can take hours or even days to complete. But not absolutely. For businesses with huge demand for resources, stand-alone servers are likely to be more cost-effective than cloud servers in the long run.

4. Accessible automation tools

Cloud computing allows cloud servers to achieve automatic management, automatic configuration and automatic scaling through open API acquisition tools. Although stand-alone servers can also use such tools, they need to be customized to the vendor before implementation.

The above is the comparison between the cloud server and the traditional server, which is a better brief introduction, of course, the detailed use of the above differences still have to be used by everyone to understand. If you want to know more, welcome to follow the industry information channel!
