Nowadays, the usage rate of ECS is very high. Because its advantages are very obvious, it is more convenient to use, and it is more user-friendly. So many businesses have launched ECS. In order to compete for the market, they even use a lot of advertising and discount promotions to occupy the market. In fact, ECS is to rent hardware resources after splitting them on the cloud. This has its advantages and disadvantages. Now Micronet will summarize the advantages and disadvantages of ECS, hoping to help you have a deeper understanding of ECS.
The advantages of ECS are as follows: First of all, ECS is deployed quickly. Conventional servers need a series of resource configurations, and appropriate operating systems need to be installed according to the language type. This requires a lot of time and effort. ECS can obtain resources in a few minutes to complete the delivery of servers.
Secondly, the scaling of the cloud server is flexible, and the cloud server can allocate resources according to the real-time needs of customers, which is flexible and efficient, and does not waste resources. In addition, most servers need to be estimated manually, because bandwidth and resources need to be set in advance, so the estimation should be as accurate as possible, otherwise the estimation is too small, the resources are not enough, and there will be a jam or server crash. If the estimation is too large, there will be a waste of resources.
Third, the operating cost of ECS is low. Because ECS is simple to operate and is in the charge of services, only internal maintenance of ECS is required. Therefore, compared with traditional servers, it is easier to operate.
Fourth, unexpected events may occur during data migration. Because ECS has the ability of automatic repair and hot migration, even in case of hardware failure or fire, ECS can quickly migrate the data and continue to use it.
Fifth, the price is more affordable, because ECS does not need to customize many resources in advance, and pays for resources according to its actual needs, which is more user-friendly.
Apart from the advantages of ECS, ECS has the following disadvantages:
First of all, ECS users have less control over data than traditional servers, because traditional servers are completely used by users themselves, and the stored data can only be viewed by themselves, while ECS uploads data to the public cloud. Once the cloud is attacked, data can easily be stolen. Secondly, ECS is completely dependent on the network. It can perform seamless data migration when there is a network, but it cannot operate normally without a network.
This is the summary of the advantages and disadvantages of the increasingly humanized ECS by Micronet. Although there are still some disadvantages, we cannot deny the value that ECS brings to us. Huawei Cloud, a micro network agent, is an excellent cloud computing service provider with perfect industry solutions and excellent cloud computing technology. The self-developed pure SSD architecture ECS breaks the industry record with 50000 IOPS random read/write speed and 800 Mb/s throughput as performance indicators. The ECS elastic cloud server uses hardware devices with a pure SSD architecture. In just a few minutes, you can easily obtain and enable the cloud to meet your computing needs. Expanding the flexibility of resource use also saves you computing costs, simplifies IT operations, and enables you to pay more attention to core business innovation.
