We all know that whether we want to build a website or transmit and store information, we need to use a server, and many people have made difficulties in choosing a server. The development of modern network technology is changing rapidly, and the types of servers are also changing, so how should we make a choice? Which is more suitable for us to use than traditional servers or ECS? Today, Micronet will give you an in-depth interpretation of this issue, hoping to help you.
In the traditional sense, servers refer to physical objects, existing special hardware hosts or server equipment with strong performance and stability. Therefore, the price is relatively expensive, requiring users to configure, manage and operate according to their needs. Micronet believes that the physical server can be understood as a "computer". In fact, all the programs at the site run on this "computer".
ECS refers to an independent server that is virtualized into multiple small servers through virtualization technology. Each ECS has an independent operating system that can allocate independent public network IP addresses, super disks, operating systems Windows/Linux, memory, CPU resources, etc. Users need to configure the running environment and space security of the website themselves, There are certain requirements for users' technical ability.
Cloud server is an important part of cloud computing services and a platform for providing comprehensive business services for various Internet users. The platform integrates the three core elements of traditional Internet application computing, storage and network to provide users with public Internet infrastructure services.
Cost advantages
For physical servers, no matter whether they are used or not, the equipment is there, the cost is there, and you still have to pay!
Cloud computing services follow the principle of on-demand purchase and pay as you go, and are characterized by low cost, strong scalability, and convenient management.
Differences in service
In general, physical server services refer to physical server hosting and leasing services. Physical server hosting is to purchase hardware by the user himself and send it to the computer room for hosting. In this process, the monitoring and management of equipment is independently completed by the user. IDC data center provides services such as IP access, bandwidth access, power supply and network maintenance, The IDC data center rents the physical equipment for customers to use, while the IDC data center is responsible for stabilizing its environment, and users do not need to purchase hardware equipment; ECS service refers to a complete set of services provided by IDC data center for users from infrastructure (Iaas) to business infrastructure platform (PaaS) to application layer (SaaS). IDC data center integrates large-scale hardware servers into the cloud to provide users with service capability and IT efficiency. Compared with traditional IDC service mode, cloud computing IDC value-added service is an upgrade associated with traditional IDC value-added service, and an upgrade of traditional IDC service under cloud computing data center! In the cloud computing IDC environment, users no longer need to worry about hardware performance limitations and other issues because of the highly scalable and available computing power.
Differences in resources
Physical servers that perform limited consolidation on the basis of hardware servers, such as multiple virtual machines sharing the performance of a physical server. Cloud servers can dynamically deploy resources through resource intensive methods, and can also expand and quickly deploy horizontal/vertical elastic resources through the cloud. However, resources provided by traditional IDC are difficult to quickly reallocate in a short period of time, not to mention the time cost required by enterprises, which itself is easy to cause idle resources and waste! For ECS, the rapid reallocation of resources through update technology can complete the rapid availability of resources in a few minutes or even tens of seconds, which can effectively avoid the risk of idle resources. Moreover, compared with cloud computing IDC, traditional IDC can conduct large-scale and effective integration across physical servers and even across data centers.
Comparison of service efficiency
Compared with traditional IDC services, cloud computing IDC services use more flexible resource utilization methods, liberate users from the management and operation of hardware devices through technology upgrading and optimization, and focus on the development and innovation of internal business. Cloud service providers are responsible for the stability of the cloud platform itself. Through this responsibility sharing model, Improve the operation efficiency of the whole platform!
Consideration on after-sales service
First, ECS is a basic value-added telecom service, so its service providers need to obtain the approval of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to have corresponding business qualifications. The support of cloud computing service providers for national policies, filing and other business processes is also a guarantee to ensure that customers can operate legally and legally. In addition, when the server has problems in the use process, it can only be solved with the help of the operator. This situation requires the after-sales support of the host company at any time. Most cloud service providers will provide 7 * 24 cloud server after-sales support services, which can also dispel users' concerns and reassure users.
After reading this article, Micronet believes that you will have a deeper understanding of both cloud servers and traditional servers. How do you think about it? I believe that you will have a certain number in mind.
