Today, I will talk to you about the difference between a cloud server and a stand-alone server. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following contents for you. I hope you can get something from this article.

Compared with traditional stand-alone servers, cloud servers have great advantages in terms of resource expansion, resource scheduling speed and flexibility.

Resource utilization ratio

Cloud servers use virtualization technology, and one server can virtualize more than ten times as many cloud servers, so the efficiency of resource optimization is obvious. Source hosts in the resource pool can also be assigned to users through lease. For traditional physical servers, it usually only achieves 20% utilization. Even at peak times, it can only reach 60% to 80% and waste resources.

The difference in cost

The initial investment in cloud server leasing is very low. Compared with physical servers, it is about one to ten. The cloud server can be used on demand, and the service can be stopped at any time. Traditional physical servers, which can only be used after purchase, will impose a burden on enterprise assets.

Expansibility comparison

Due to the size of the CVM cluster, CVM can achieve flexible scalability of service functions during peak business periods. In contrast, traditional physical servers are difficult to expand due to many reasons, such as the complexity of the procurement process.

Availability performance

Because the system-level volume of a CVM can be achieved by setting an image method, a CVM is a cluster composed of multiple physical servers, which will affect the operation of the CVM unless all physical servers fail. Therefore, the availability of CVM is higher than that of stand-alone server.

Professional safety protection

Traditional server rental costs a lot of money, time and energy. Most enterprises do not have the expertise and adequate budget. If you do not take advantage of cloud computing technology, still use traditional servers, because the protection is not comprehensive, by malicious attacks, is likely to cause serious losses. There are many security risks in traditional servers, such as untimely update patches, slow repair of program vulnerabilities, etc., and the network security risk is high.

Compared with traditional servers, cloud servers are less likely to be attacked and data lost. The public cloud security layer effectively blocks malicious attacks. Cloud service providers monitor cloud clusters in real time, handle sudden network attacks in seconds, and respond quickly to prevent attacks. Cloud service providers deploy advanced security systems, automatically update system patches and automatically repair vulnerabilities in the background, which small and medium-sized enterprises cannot achieve on their own.

Server management

CVM simplifies operation and maintenance, enterprises do not need to have high technical capabilities, do not need to pay too much cost and effort for network security, and only need to focus on the management of internal applications. Cloud computing service providers rely on professional technical teams to ensure the security and reliability of the cloud platform, enterprises can rest assured that the use of cloud resources, more secure online business.

After reading the above, do you have any further understanding of the difference between a cloud server and a stand-alone server? If you want to know more knowledge or related content, please follow the industry information channel, thank you for your support.
